Event Growth Strategy
Filling rooms with meaningful dialogue
Chapters exist but struggle to fill seats. Students want to engage but don't know where to start. First events make or break momentum.
The gap between "interested" and "attending" is where most dialogue initiatives die. One poorly attended event can sink an entire chapter.
Students will cross the bridge if someone walks with them. The fear isn't disagreement—it's showing up alone to face the unknown.
Successful events feel less like political forums and more like friend groups forming. The magic happens when students realize their "opposite" likes the same coffee shop.
