Brainstorm: How to Measure Member Engagement

How do you measure member engagement? I’ve been working on redoing my board report, and I thought it might be good to start tracking some membership related metrics. This is literally a brain dump of anything measurable that I could relate to membership somehow, but I would love your thoughts on it!

Another reason I wanted to have these numbers available is because just because members don’t go to events, doesn’t mean they’re not engaged. So let’s look at some other ways we can see members are engaged with chamber:
