New Ideas Need People!

Posted on | October 12, 2009 | No Comments

Some pretty great ideas sprang up at the first ever Team Oregon 2010 All Membership Meeting.

We looked at ideas in four different categories. Next, we need to know who might be interested in earning points by heading up these projects. What sounds like fun to you? Where can you lend your talents? Let us know by sending an email to rob@enterthenet.com or leaving a comment below.

These are loose categories. Many of the activities will yield results in multiple areas for us.

Membership:

Set up a promotion designed to help current members invite family and friends to join Team Oregon 2010 as a show of support. Members get points for new Family/Friend members. Need help creating campaign to make it as easy as possible for members to ask Family/Friends. Special recogntion for Family/Friend members on site – possibly showing whom they support?

Set up a campaign targeting interested businesses in Oregon. Get them to partner with us in promoting. Includes GLBT and fitness-oriented businesses. How do we reach out to them? What works?

Develop partnerships with the following types of organizations. Get their help in promoting membership.
–Queer Resource Centers on college campuses.
–GSA (Gay Straight Alliances) at high schools.
–Queer organizations (too many to mention…from Bears to Rose Court.)

Strengthen relationships with Gay Sports organizations in Oregon and SW Washington. Need a person to coordinate these communications and a team to hit the events with information and membership recruiting. Make sure we are at every tournament.

Create a fun video about Team Oregon 2010 and push it to viral status on Facebook and other social networking sites. Need a team of people to create video. Need one “director.”

Set up “Flash Mob” events to raise awareness and promote membership in public venues.

Membership/Info events at bars/clubs/gathering places.

Fundraising/Sponsorship:

Create a “semi-nude” calendar of athletes and sell it.

Generate list of potential sponsors at all levels and send people to start conversations about sponsorship.

Outreach/Communication:

Start a campaign to get people to link to TeamOregon2010.org on their sites and profiles. Ask people to share links on their profiles.

Create an authoritative list of publications in Oregon and SW Washington and make sure we send frequent press releases.

See if we can learn from other organizations that effectively reach out across the region (BRO, CAP, Equity Foundation, etc)

If you are a member, you can earn points by helping out with any of the above projects. We REALLY need people who can take on leadership of them.

Be sure to let us know by leaving a comment below or contacting us.

All Team Oregon 2010 meetings are open to the public. Please join us at our next meeting.
