Be creative about meetings. If each coalition meeting can be different, and have some elements of fun to it, membership and interest will more likely be retained. Some possibilities include rotating the responsibility for meetings among the groups comprising the coalition; having only a few meetings a year, each with a particular theme, and doing most of the work of the coalition in committees or task forces; and regularly bringing in exciting presentations on the issue or in areas that relate to it.
