How ? I have far more questions in my mind than solutions. For example: If we are supposed to be a dual-gender association, why do we still have over 7,000 Rotary Clubs with male-only membership? 2. How many Club leaders make the effort to send a letter to another Club saying “a good member of our Club is moving to your city, whom you should invite to visit your Club?” 3. When Rotary International recently had a 25th anniversary of the admission of women members, wouldn’t it have been an excellent opportunity to conduct a world-wide effort to open the doors to well qualified women members, and urge women Rotarians to invite eligible female executives to become Rotarians? 4. How many spouses of Rotary senior leaders (Directors, Past Presidents, Trustees, Committee Chairmen) are actually members of a Rotary Club, since they are nearly all very significant and prominent community leaders?
How? ( Cont.) 5. How much training is actually being given to Governors and Club Presidents on specific and proven techniques for expanding membership – not just wringing their hands over the problem? 6. What can be done about Clubs which are so poorly conducted, or the membership is so low and inactive, that it is embarrassing to actually call it a “Rotary Club” or to invite prospective members? 7. What steps can be taken to terminate a dying and no-longer-viable Club and initiate a totally new Rotary Club in the same locality? 8. Even considering all of the clever campaigns, beautifully printed posters, and catchy slogans – is there any membership plan better than one or two members just asking a deserving person to become a Rotarian?
