Membership Hack: Host an “Amazing Race”

Adding a little competition to your conference gets members moving, active

The American Probation and Parole Association is adding some friendly competition to its annual conference to get members moving in their host city.

How to hack it? At this year’s Annual Training Institute, the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) is launching a new workshop designed to get members moving beyond the meeting room.

The Community Corrections Chase is a competitive challenge and race that will orient attendees to New York City while teaching them about common practices, theories, and policies related to the justice system. It’s a scavenger hunt, similar to what you might see on CBS’s Amazing Race, said APPA Executive Director Veronica Cunningham. “I’ve had discussions with a lot of members, both young and old, and they were looking for something to get those competitive juices flowing,” she said. “We have three sites in New York helping to put this challenge together, and each stop will be a chance for our members to learn.”
