The task of the proposer should not end merely by submitting a name to the club secretary or membership committee. Rotary has not established formal responsibilities for proposers or sponsors, however, by custom and tradition these procedures are recommended in many clubs.
The sponsor should:
Invite a prospective member to several meetings prior to proposing the individual for membership.
Accompany the prospective new member to one or more orientation/informational meetings.
Introduce the new member to other club members each week for the first month.
Invite the new member to accompany the sponsor to neighboring clubs for the first make-up meeting to learn the process and observe the spirit of fellowship.
Ask the new member and spouse to accompany the sponsor to the club's social activities, dinners or other special occasions.
Urge the new member and spouse to attend the district conference with the sponsor.
Serve as a special friend to assure that the new member becomes an active Rotarian.
When the proposer follows these guidelines, Rotary becomes stronger with each new member.
We hope you'll join us in giving to The Rotary Foundation, and help the District achieve its goal of raising $1 million in this Centennial year.
To donate or to learn more about the many ways you might support the Foundation, see www.rotary.org/give.
Remember, the District Grant your club receives is funded through donations to the Foundation.
FYI, The Rotary Foundation has received the highest possible rating from Charity Navigator, a watchdog organization, earning the maximum score for both financial health and accountability and transparency.
