 Our district is striving to increase the number of female members, with a goal 50.3% female Rotarians in District 5950. As of January 1, there are nine clubs over 40%, listed below, and another six clubs over 35%. The Rotary Club of Edina Morningside is at 30% with the last five year trends noted below: District Governor-Elect Irene Kelly will be leading a breakout session at the mid-term assembly titled "What’s at the ‘Heart’ of the Case for Women?" She will discuss the following with club leaders and members: - What new ideas and initiatives has your club implemented this Rotary year to impact increasing your club's percentage female membership?
- What changes has your club made this Rotary year to become more vibrant and attractive to prospective female members?
- Is there a female member of your club that has made a significant or unique impact on your club this Rotary year, or in recent years? If yes, please provide a brief description of this individual and their impact.
Thanks in advance for thinking how EMRC can increase our female membership. And congratulations to the following clubs for attaining a high level of gender diversity: North Minneapolis 64.7%, Richfield 55.0%, SMME 54.2%, St. Michael-Albertville 50.0%, Chanhassen Evening 47.8%, Springfield 44.0%, Redwood Falls 43.45%, Crystal-New Hope-Robbinsdale 40.7% and Minneapolis-University 40.0%. |
