How does SAI encourage participation from its members?

Sigma Alpha Iota encourages participation from its members by providing opportunities for leadership roles. This approach empowers members to take on various responsibilities within the organization, fostering a sense of ownership and community. Engaging in leadership roles allows members to develop valuable skills, contribute to the organization actively, and enhance their personal and professional growth. By offering these opportunities, SAI cultivates an environment where members are motivated to participate and invest in the organization's mission.

In contrast, while other options touch on aspects of involvement and support, they do not directly foster the same level of engagement as leadership opportunities do. For example, requiring attendance at the National Convention could ensure some level of participation but does not inherently motivate an ongoing commitment to SAI's activities. Scholarships and financial support can assist members but may not actively engage them in the organization's initiatives. Lastly, limiting membership to music majors only restricts the diversity and potential participation of individuals who could contribute to the organization in various ways.
