Retention • Did you know? • It is cheaper to retain a member than to recruit a new one? • When a Member is lost, two must be recruited to grow? • When a Member is retained, new growth occurs with every new recruit? • Warning Signs: decline in attendance / committee involvement • Why members choose to not renew • Don’t see value • Club assumes member will renew (renewal efforts might be focused to specific groups.) • Not having good member activities – service projects • Economics • Loss of Interest • Personal Circumstances • New Members haven’t been involved early
Strategies • Strategies • Personal Follow-up • Value Members • Find out skills and ask them to take a task that they can do. • Get to know your members individually • Smile and say hi! • Say “Thank You” • Show you care - 50/50 to raise $ for member care • Recognize • Honor for years of involvement / service • Certificate of appreciation for a job well done. • Recognize for accomplishments outside club. • Support from family – family night
Strategies • Retention: • Successful membership is every member’s role! • This is an IMPORTANT time – dues renewal in April/May • Don’t wait to find out if a Member is going to renew or not! • What can I do? • Membership Committee – divide up retention and recruiting • Ask members to participate • Calling members not attending • Recognition event • Use training - mentor program / new member orientation – to retain your new members! • Learn from each other • What are your best practices? • Black Hills – Expo event; well known & reputable in community • Cheyenne – Ladies Night Out; planned membership event as part of Ladies Night Out event. • Douglas County – Trivia Night; personal touch – meet for coffee with potential members • Prowers County – International Women’s Day Roses
