Scoring Connections: Blackhawks Game Experience Boosts Member Engagement

Greater Illinois Chapter

Entry Details

The Greater Illinois Chapter created a memorable member engagement event by organizing a group outing to a Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. This social gathering provided a dynamic and fun environment where members could connect beyond the typical professional setting, fostering camaraderie and stronger relationships. The shared excitement of cheering for the Blackhawks brought members closer, promoting a sense of community and belonging within the chapter. This initiative demonstrated how well-curated social events can effectively enhance member involvement and cultivate enduring connections.

Implementation

The chapter coordinated ticket purchases and logistics for a group of members and guests to attend a Chicago Blackhawks home game. Communications about the event were distributed via email and the chapter’s platforms, including the website and mobile app, to maximize participation and excitement. As a special incentive, one lucky chapter member won two complimentary tickets, drawn from a pool of participants in a recent chapter survey. The event provided a relaxed environment for attendees to network and build personal rapport. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many members highlighting the camaraderie and shared enthusiasm for the game as key factors in fostering new friendships and strengthening existing relationships. The success of this social outing reinforced the importance of such events in enhancing member engagement and community spirit.
