Member Engagement Associate: Great Lakes Territory
Modern Woodmen of America is looking for a relationship-focused, highly organized Member Engagement Associate to help strengthen member engagement, chapter growth, and the consistent delivery of our fraternal mission across assigned regions. In this role, you’ll serve as a key connection between the Fraternal Department and regional teams, providing coaching, training, and operational support to help chapter leaders plan meaningful events, create positive member experiences, and support organizational goals.
This position is located in the Great Lakes territory and will require frequent travel to assigned regions in the United States. States in the Great Lakes territory include: Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. Applicants must reside within the territory with convenient access to a major airport.
Modern Woodmen of America is one of the nation’s largest fraternal benefit societies, with over $18 billion assets. Fraternals are unique membership organizations that pair the “member-owned” characteristic of a mutual insurance company with the “social mission” characteristic of a service organization. They unite individuals with common bonds, provide a variety of life insurance and investment products, and form one of the nation’s most effective volunteer networks.
Responsibilities:
- Coach and support chapter event planners, regional staff, and field representatives to strengthen leadership effectiveness and ensure consistent execution.
- Advise regional teams on member-focused event planning, event calendars, hospitality, volunteer service, experience design, and follow-up practices.
- Collaborate with field managers and Fraternal Department leaders to identify engagement opportunities, develop event strategies, and support regional plans.
- Assess regional training needs and partner with the Fraternal Development team to create and deliver tools, resources, and training plans.
- Attend select regional events to support leaders, observe the member experience, and identify best practices or process improvement opportunities.
- Serve as a communication link between assigned regions and the home office, helping align priorities, share feedback, and support regional meetings.
- Monitor regional fraternal activity, member engagement, and growth metrics, then prepare reports that highlight accomplishments, challenges, and opportunities.
- Support regional operations, including chapter boards, chapter budget guidance, and adherence to policies and procedures.
