SHERRI MUNIZ, ROTARY COORDINATOR FOR REGION 26, HAS MADE AMPLE USE OF A MEMBERSHIP RESOURCE THAT SHE BELIEVES MORE ROTARY LEADERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.
The recently updated State of Rotary Membership PowerPoint provides a look at our global membership trends over the past five to 10 years and specific ideas for making membership a top priority in your club. It is designed to be presented to a group, with speaker notes that can be regionalized.
“The key to the power of this presentation is that it is so easily customizable,” says Muniz. “I rarely use all of the slides, as I customize the deck for the audience that is present.”
For example, Muniz says, she varies the emphasis of the second slide, a membership overview, based on whether she is presenting to a club or to district leaders. With a club, she emphasizes the average club size to show that a club that has 20 to 40 members is not too small to make a difference. With district leaders, she emphasizes the importance of forming new clubs to build capacity and diversity.
Show this presentation to members and have an honest discussion about how your club compares with Rotary as whole. Be open to hearing members’ insights, and make a plan to address any issues they raise.
