Young Members – how? Another Conundrum for Rotary!
Future – Exciting & Uncertain • We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using Technologies that haven’t been invented yet, in order to solve Problems we don’t even know are Problems yet. - Karl Fisch
CURRENCY • 20 years back: Money: What do Things Cost? • 10 years back: Information: Where can I get the Information regardless of Cost? • Today: Time: Where & How will I possibly find the Time?
Questions Young People are Likely to Ask • What is expected of me? • How much time is involved? • What training will I get? • How many others have joined/volunteered? • How many are Like me? • What’s in it for Me? Create Value
Young Members Address Concerns • Time • Family • Value • Make Rotary Interesting, Enjoyable, Fun, Worthwhile for Family
Plant the right seeds • Pre-Induction Information • Induction • Orientation and Education
Where there is Room in the Heart, there is Room in the Home • Make effort to become acquainted with each New Member • Personally interact & invite New Members to join club committees. • Mentor the New Member. • See that New Member feels comfortable and is not isolated. • Accompany New Member to meetings – Club, District. • Touch their Heart before asking for their Helping Hand
Why People leave • Rotary did not meet their expectations • They did not feel involved or felt unwanted • They did not see any benefits of Rotary membership
Create Value – • Friendship – Dhal Mitra – Like the Shield • Leadership, Personal development, Prestige, Internationality, Satisfaction in service • Rotary Global Rewards The Rotary Global Rewards program offers Rotary club members discounts on products and services for travel, entertainment, and merchandise. Rotarians can access the Rotary Global Rewards program from the Member Center.
Retention • Involvement & Assimilation • Sweetness in a Cup of Coffee comes, Not Just from the Sugar But from the Stirring
Keeping Members – Action Plan • Give New Members more Options, Don’t Overburden, Break Down The Big Jobs • Use & Focus on their Talent, not just Time • Create Value • Appreciation & Recognition • Invest in Leadership Training & Development • Don’t Give Up
