One thing that needs to be done is a strong recruitment program. Posts need to form recruitment committees with personnel enthused about talking to people and inviting them to meetings.

Agreed. And perhaps a perception facelift?

Absolutely, and that should come from the top. Our club isn’t “tied” to an old hall, or to the local VFW. We meet at our local country club (used to meet in a restaurant until their food went downhill). And we only meet bi-monthly so it’s not like a lot of time is involved except for projects and such.
