  1. Taking Action on the Membership Challenge “15 + Tips for Successful Clubs”

  2. Future Leaders of the Rotary World: Look for young leaders aged 20 -29 or 30 – 39 • City Council • County Commissioners • Young Professional Programs • University Alumni Groups • 40 Under 40 programs • Community Leadership Programs

  3. Recharter: Less than 20 members, set a goal by the end of the year that you will reach 20 or more new members. Assign EVERY CLUB ROTARIAN that they are to bring in one new member. Then have a RECHARTER night banquet where all the new members are inducted.

  4. Proposal Cards: Review the process of how to submit a new member with a proposal card. **Google “Rotary Proposal Cards” to download pdf, order or see other ideas

  5. Bring A Friend Day:

  6. Club Forum: • Classifications • New Service Projects • New Community Projects • Double Points: District Membership is speaker

  7. Re-engage Rotarians:

  8. Re-engage Rotarians: • Plan Non-Conventional Meetings • Halloween Costume Parties • Adopt-a-Beach Family Day • Anniversary Celebrations • Holiday Parties • Networking/Friendship Building Events • “Girls Night” Dinners/Pottery/Painting • Speed Networking Event • Agave Dinners • Night at the Baseball/Hockey/Basketball, etc

  9. Mentors:

  10. Creating a “Guest Book”:

  11. Member Survey: • Develop a club survey to share their thoughts on: • club projects • club locations • membership development • club philosophy • Survey Monkey • Double Points Idea: Take the Classification Survey and then use it in a Membership Forum

  12. Former Members: • Encourage the membership committee to develop a list of former members. • Ask a current member to extend an invitation to rejoin your club or another club.

  13. Public Relations & Community Presence: • Newspaper Articles • Television Coverage • Facebook and other Social Media pages • Plaques/Banners placed at Project locations

  14. Inducting New Members: • Review and maybe modify your current procedure. • Is your induction process special? • Do you invite family members to attend? • Does the new member feel special?

  15. Identifying Community Leaders: • Create a list of community leaders and city officials. • Invite them to special meetings • Ask them to join your club.

  16. Five for One: • Divide the Club into groups of 5. • Assign each group to bring in one new member within the next three months. • Make the contest special with proper recognition to the group that brings in the most new members.

  17. Friends of the Club President: • The Club President asks three (3) Members as a personal favor to propose a new Member within a month. • When the first one does so, approach another the same way so as to always have three (3) Members working on a personal pledge to the Presidents.

  18. Your Own Ideas: • We recognize that there are many great ideas throughout the world. • If you have one that could generate new members, we welcome you to formulate your own strategy for your Club.

  23. Rotary Fellowship

  24. Rotary Fellowship www.rotary.org/Fellowships Rotary Fellowships are groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses, and Rotaractors who join together to: • Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities • Further their vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession • Make new friends around the world • Explore new opportunities for service • Have FUN and enhance their experience in Rotary

  25. How Rotary Fellowships Operate • Each fellowship is operated independently of Rotary International, with its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure. • Membership in fellowships is open to Rotarians, spouses of Rotarians, and Rotaractors. • Fellowships must be international in nature with active members in at least three countries. • Each fellowship elects at least three officers to oversee the group’s administration. • Fellowships are expected to facilitate communication among their members and maintain regular communication with RI.

  26. Some Benefits of Rotary Fellowships • Fellowships provide opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside of their own club, district, or country. • Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. • Fellowships serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining existing ones.
