Membership Survey Meeting

Greetings Fellow Grand Junction Rotarians,

I first want to thank everyone for participating in the 2019 Rotary Club of Grand Junction’s membership survey. We were very pleased with the response rate.  The information that came out I the surveys is invaluable.  More important, the ideas and opinions expressed are sincere and heart felt.  And the answers give us a deep understanding of people’s thoughts about our Club.

Accompanying this letter is a summary of the survey answers.  Much of the information may not come as a surprise to you.  Some of it though might give you pause to think.  Hopefully, reading over the summary of answers will give you some thoughts and ideas for the future.  We want you to share those thoughts as we move into planning phase. 

This survey is a part of an overall plan to lay out a Road Map for the Future. The intent is that this will help us shape our vision for the Club and how it interacts with the community for the next five years.   The process to lay down that Road Map includes:

·        Introduce and Distribute a Member Survey (complete)

·        Present the Results to the Membership (complete)

·        Analyze the Data (in process)

·        Make an Action Plan/Road Map (about to start)

·        Bring the new Road Map to the membership for approval.

·        Act

The survey has been introduced, distributed, and taken by a majority of the Club members.   The survey looked at our projects, fundraising, member experience, Club structure, and communications.   It also inquired a bit about your observations regarding the Club’s strengths, challenges, weakness and opportunities.  The data produced by your answers is now being presented to the Club and as a group so that we all can now have a chance to analyze those answers. 

Next, the Board and anyone who is interested will look at this information for guidance regarding our future.  Our intention is that the overall results will help us learn more about the current status of the Club, its needs, and future priorities. This will be used to draft Road Map that will then be brought back to the membership. 

Everyone in the Club is welcome to participate in the Visioning Road Map Planning Meetings.  I envision that we will meet twice for about three house each.  The first meeting is right after a short Club Board Meeting at 4:00. Wednesday, November 13^th.  The second meeting is 4:00, Tuesday, November 19^th.  Both meetings will occur at Aaron Tice’s office (546 Main St Suite #401).

If you would like to participate in the planning meetings, please let me know so we can plan appropriately.

Thank you again for your help,

Peter Booth

President, Rotary Club of Grand Junction
