Membership Development

 

We build our most valuable assets

The membership development program includes activities aimed at recruiting, assimilating/educating and retaining active Rotarians.

People join to serve, but stay because of friendships and contacts.

 

Primary goal for the year:   Grow to a net membership of 60 by July 1.

Action items planned:

Outreach (recruitment)

  • Develop a continued outreach campaign
  • Recruitment process
  • Induction ceremony
Activation (assimilation)
  •     Red badge program
  •     Active mentoring
  •     Involve the new member in activities immediately (assign to committee)
  •     Orientation/education (Fireside Chats…orientations)

Retention

  •     Show “we care” — attention to member needs: follow up on absenteeism (is there a problem?); acknowledge illnesses, special times in members‘ lives (ie. birthdays)
  •     Recognition — achievements, good work
  •     Club socials — at least 4 during the year, starting with the traditional Dick Lawe Fish Fry and ending with the also traditional President’s Demotion Party.
  •     Exit interviews (why do they leave?)

Leadership development

  •     Train/prepare the next generation of club leaders (ie. Rotary Leadership Institute; nurturing of members new to chairing projects — don’t toss them to the wolves; promoting concept of vice chairs for committees, avenues of service
