membership drives

Signing up newcomers

Membership drives are organized campaigns to recruit new members for an organization—a union, club, church, or political party.

The term implies concentrated effort over a limited period, often with incentives or promotional activities: The library's membership drive offered waived fees for new cardholders.

The plural form is standard even when referring to a single campaign.
