You need champions of your cause from among volunteer members, including committee and board people. Staff is less effective at attracting participants and followers than are the members themselves. The best use of staff is in the support role to follow through on the excitement a volunteer has created among prospects.
This said, however, volunteer champions certainly need a head cheerleader to guide them. The association CEO or COO should include that role in their list of important responsibilities.
