Here are Some tips:

• Send as many members as possible to leadership conferences, on your campus and off, like the General Assembly and spring Area The BACCHUS Network™ conferences for members as reward for their efforts.
  
  
• Offer the Certified Peer Educator training on your campus to your members and their friends. Then let them put their new skills into action.
  
  
• Establish a point system for members, one that offers them the chance to attend trainings, win prizes or awards. Friendly competition can provide excellent motivation.
  
  
• Invite a motivational speaker to address your leaders and the leaders of other student groups and organizations on campus.
  
  
• Expect the best from people you lead. If you establish high but realistic expectations, you give your group an achievable goal.
  
  
• Make a thorough study of the members' needs.
  
  
• Create an environment where failure is not fatal. Treat defeat as a learning experience.

• Set the stage for open-mindedness and a broad range of viewpoints to make the group a comfortable setting for all members to share. Set goals as an entire group. People own what they help create.
  
  
• Take steps to keep your own motivation high. This will positively affect the motivation of those around you.
  
  
• Remember member's birthdays in some small way: sing, eat cake, or make a nice card.
  
  
• Put a classified ad in your student newspaper every week, thanking a member who has made a contribution to the organization.
  
  
• Give people meaningful work.
