District Membership Update
 

The Rotary year has well and truly started, I hope all members had a great break.   Clubs have adjusted their records in December in time for the semiannual returns.   This has highlighted the need for us to all be working on strengthening our membership.  As a district we have lost a net 20 members over the last 3 months – a net increase of 2 in the last 6 months.

Many clubs are recruiting and maintaining and increasing the number of their members, while others are struggling.    Has your club a plan on how to positively increase their membership and strengthen their ability to do more in their community?

How can District 9820 help?

We

- have a dedicated team of guest speakers who can share with you with what works in their clubs. 

- can organise with your AG a cluster Membership Seminar, for example, a combined Club meeting with speakers – a fun way to look at the issues!  (AGs have been asked to meet with their cluster presidents)

- we have run a Webinar on the recent Council on Legislation with ideas on how Rotary has ways for clubs to be flexible in membership types, attendance and meetings to be more attractive to a younger more diverse group.

- Regular newsletter and emails to clubs with resources from Rotary International and District that available.

- provide Zone membership resources – webinar links, Membership Matters Newsletters.

- Any membership queries please email tim@cinet.com.au

 

When:  Webinar Tuesday 7^th March and Thursday 9^th March (same presentation)

Time:     7 pm for 30 minutes approximately, with an opportunity for questions

How:     Go To Meeting software on the internet in the privacy of your own home – or gather a couple of your members around your computer?   Details of how to log on will be sent the week prior to the meeting.    Please register at www.district9820.org
