Crucial PowerShift Recruitment Call tonight - 9PM
Tom Owens
Here is the newest agenda for tonight's bomb diggity call. Bring your ideas and bring your PowerShift recruitment friends or people who wanna come. We are three weeks out and we need to come out of this call with some great plans to hit our recruitment goals. To give you a sense of where we are right now, there are 141 people registered on the website. That means across the state we need to get 300 people signed up each week and ready to get in a car October 10th. We can do it if we are planning on talking to lots of people on campus these upcoming weeks and doing the right follow up. We're expecting tons of exciting updates and empowering ideas to be flying left and right. Do your best to make it on or find a friend or lover to instead. Catch you all on the flip side!
