How New Membership Criteria Will Affect Collective Impact Update Survey – Help Reshape Our Membership Criteria Conference Presentation – Reshaping our Future: Membership Criteria Next Steps Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
SurveyHelp Reshape Our Membership Criteria • 1,486 members completed online survey • 1,064 Japanese members completed survey at their conference(approximately) • 2,550 members provided feedback through the survey (approximately) Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
SurveyHelp Reshape Our Membership Criteria • Maintaining membership types (regular, retired/unemployed, and embarking) is not critical. (72%) • Categorizing these types as simply “members” would be beneficial. (78%) • Any woman should be able to join a club regardless of her education, occupation, or employment status. (85%) • It is not important for SIA to promote itself as an organization of only business and professional women. (82%) Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
SurveyHelp Reshape Our Membership Criteria • Minimum number of members required for good standing should be 15. (58%) • Number of members to charter a club should not be 18 but be between 13-15. (45%) • Clubs entering into low membership status should be allowed to continue indefinitely, but be considered to not be in good standing. (50%) Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership

Conference PresentationReshaping our Future: Membership Criteria • Member Types: Are they necessary? • Low Membership/Good Standing: What is the minimum number of members for a club and how many are needed to charter a new club? • Business and Professional Women: Still a relevant designation? Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
Conference PresentationReshaping our Future: Membership Criteria • Member types and “business and professional” designation are not necessary and they make Soroptimist appear elitist. Members are here to support women and girls and should, therefore, be inclusive. • If a woman can support Soroptimist with her time and meet financial obligations, she should be able to join regardless of her occupation or lack thereof. • If club activities are good and meaningful, then having less than 15 members should be allowed. Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
New Membership Criteria: Next Steps • Present-March 2014: • Continue to gather and analyze conference feedback • Create recommendations • Laws and Resolutions Committee and Staff Liaison will draft bylaw and procedure revisions that will include the membership criteria • Changes will be presented to SIA Board in November 2013 • Final proposal will be presented to SIA Board in March 2014 Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
New Membership Criteria: Next Steps • April 2014 and December 2014: • Final proposed membership criteria will be sent out in the bylaws revisions in the Call to Convention • Discussion among membership will take place during Convention • Mail ballots will be sent out to clubs in October 2014 • Mail ballots will be returned to headquarters and tallied in December 2014 • Any changes passed can be implemented at that time (unless there is a date stipulated – for example, changes may go into effect during the 2014-2015 club year) Soroptimist Governors Round Table | June 23-24, 2013 | Membership
How Will New Membership Criteria Affect Collective Impact? • More Soroptimists we recruit and retain to focus on the Women’s Opportunity Awards! • More Soroptimists to support Live Your Dream! • More members we will have to make Soroptimist their cause of choice!
