DG Message | August, 2018 - Membership and Extension Month
We are all aware that “Membership” is the #1 Internal priority of Rotary International. Membership is the responsibility of every Rotarian in a club and our district.
The issue of membership has two basic challenges;
How do we get them to come on the bus with us? (Recruitment)
How do we keep them from getting on the bus and don’t leave through the back (Retention)
The issue of recruitment is and always has been the “lifeblood” of any club. However, many times, we as Rotarians, make this process more difficult than it really is. It is just that simple, because each and every one of us has one friend, associate, business partner that we trust and could recommend to Rotary.
Our strategy has to reflect the changing times, attitudes and activities that are of interest to our membership. The Council on Legislation has given the clubs a set of options to have more flexibility in the way we run our clubs. It has never been so easy and encouraging to be vibrant in our club activities.
As we celebrate our successes, let us remember that our primary customer is our members and more attention should be paid on their welfare. A happy family attracts, “Share Your Love for Rotary”
