Rakeesh spoke about Rotary Know How Day held 19th last. He was very impressed with the excellent speakers presenting topics and he chose the 'membership retention' break out session to attend. His brief summary is as follows. 1. The club needs to me more inclusive and more flexible in recruiting new members. The skills of new members should be recognised when forming committees. 2. Some people want to join Rotary club because they want to help at projects. Some members are not interested in attending meetings and dinners so clubs needs to be more flexible for membership. 3. There is one online rotary club as well and the members do not meet regularly. 4. We need to be more proactive as the numbers are getting low in most clubs and if there are not enough new members then there will be not Rotary. We need to remember that most rotarians are getting close to superannuation. We need to recruit new members to rotary club and retain the membership. Thanks Rakeesh |
