  6. NORTH AMERICA Top Reasons for Resigning • Attendance Requirements • Competing Priorities • Relocation

  7. OUR PROBLEM • 10 % LOSS PER YEAR • 90 % RULE • We just don’t do it – We do not ask! • Why don’t we do it? + Not our duty & responsibility + Not “top of mind” + Lazy

  8. ROTAPHOBIA “The fear of inviting a potential new member to your club.” What is the cure? Take two friends to a Rotary club meeting and call me in the morning!

  9. QUANTITY & QUALITY “There are so many qualified men and women just waiting for a Rotary invitation, even though they may not know it. Each of us, as Rotarians, must take that step and ask someone to become a member of a Rotary club.” Sam Green, 2003-04 Membership Development and Retention Committee Vice Chair We can have both Quantity & Quality – Why choose?

  10. OUR SOLUTION • Recruit New members • Retain Those we have recruited • Organize New clubs (Extend Rotary) • Set a goal (3% net increase) • Agree that this is everybody’s business • Focus and execute! • Constant reinforcement from the top

  11. Organizing New Clubs Retention Recruitment Membership Growth and Development

  12. DUAL CHALLENGE Bringing in Quality Members Stopping the leaking, reducing the loss of members Both require clearly defined strategies

  13. 2004-05 Suggested Goals • A three percent net gain in membership or minimum of two new members per club. • Slowing attrition to less than three percent with a retention program • Chartering at least one new club • Encouraging diversity by inducting new members from different demographic groups

  14. 2004-05 Suggested Goals • Inviting at least one Rotary Foundation alumna or alumnus to join a club • Asking every new member to bring in one new member.

  15. 7 KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Recruitment = Offense Strategy • Identify potential new members • Inform • Invite

  16. Successful Keys Continued Retention = Defense Strategy • Orient • Induct • Educate • Involve

  17. SIMPLY STATED We all need to invite a friend to Rotary and give the gift we were given to someone else. Remember that day we received it? We need to ASK!! Let’s develop the value proposition Just do it!

  18. Motivating Rotarians “Recipe for Success” • Solid orientation • Good fellowship • Effective club leadership • Interesting weekly programs • Hands-on service projects • Recognition • Support for The Rotary Foundation
