Programs

    New Clubs Rotary/Rotaract/Interact Clubs

Our goal this year is to duplicate the district's 2019-20 success in developing new clubs. If you have an idea about starting a new Rotary/Rotaract/Interact Club please contact Gina Smith at gsmith@centernationalbank.com, District Governor Tom Gump at tagump@gmail.com or Lloyd Campbell at lloydwcampbelljr@gmail.com.

    Free Zoom License

The district offered a free zoom license for up to three years to any club that increases its membership by a net gain of one during each of the next three years. Thirty-one clubs took the challenge. The district is extending the program until the end of October. To sign up, contact Lloyd Campbell at lloydwcampbelljr@gmail.com. Note: A club only qualifies for free Zoom in Year #2 if it gains membership during the initial year.

    The Leads Program

Monthly we will recap clubs' success in following up on leads provided by Rotary International. During October, we salute the Rotary Club of Eagan for receiving and connecting with two prospective members. Promptly contacting a prospective member, inviting the guest to a meeting and making a strong first impression are all keys to bringing in a new member. Thank you, Eagan club president Leif Hagen and membership chair Jeff Larson!

    Visioning

The Vision Program has been updated to include an all-virtual platform. If you have not conducted a Visioning session within the last three years, please consider updating your strategic plans. (See separate article.)

    Speaker Repository

The Membership committee is working in conjunction with the Public Image committee to create a speaker repository. The key to success is club participation where you provide quality recordings of your best speakers. More information is coming soon.
