Hi, I'm Peggy Jordan, one of the associate editors at FMC magazine. I coordinate the Chapter Spotlight column each month for Family Motor Coaching. Chapter Spotlight lets other FMCA members know what your chapter is like. It's a good way to get free publicity and more members. 1. You must be looking for more new members to your chapter and you must not have previously been featured in the column. 2. You need to be able to provide us with a couple of photos of chapter activities that can be published with the column. Or, we can sometimes use a chapter logo instead. 3. Have a chapter representative spend about 30 minutes on the phone with me as I interview them. I'll then write the story. - OR - If you want to write your own Chapter Spotlight, you are welcome to do so. Just contact me and I'll give you details about what we need (story length, etc.). Right now I am in need of many future columns. You may be in the magazine as soon as the October issue! Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, fellow FMCA members, I'm one of the associate editors for Family Motor Coaching. I put together the Chapter Spotlight column every month. Would you believe I'm completely out of articles? That's why I'm writing. The column is in the magazine every month, usually right after the Family & Friends section. It's a one-page column that profiles your chapter, giving prospective new members an idea of what your club is like. If you belong to a chapter that would welcome new members, and your chapter has not yet been in the column, I'd like you to consider being in it. You would need to be able to provide us a photo of your chapter that we can print, plus either spend a few minutes on the phone with me so I can write the article...OR have someone in your chapter write it. It's that easy and it really does work. I've had many calls and comments over the years from chapters that have been featured, telling me it actually resulted in them gaining more members in their group. I can be reached at (800) 543-3622 ext. 212, or email me at pjordan@fmca.com. Thanks! Peggy Jordan, F401999, Associate Editor, Family Motor Coaching Magazine
