Group solicitation is the most effective and efficient technique for increasing employee contributions. Here are some suggestions to make this meeting as successful as possible:

Give advance notice of the meeting.
-
Let employees know why United Way is in the workplace, how supportive the company is of United Way and that they will be asked to contribute at the meeting.
-
The CEO should sign this letter or notice.
Other meeting suggestions:
· Limit meeting to no longer than 30 minutes.
· Have all your supplies available, including pens.
· Require attendance.
· Know the answers to frequently asked questions.
· Collect all pledge cards at the end of the meeting.
· Limit attendance to 30 people or less.
· Personally contact any employees who could not attend the group meeting.
