Five New Options

1. Change your meeting schedule. Vary meeting days, times, and format. For example, hold a traditional meeting on the first Tuesday of the month and get together socially on the last Friday of the month. Clubs just need to meet at least twice a month.
2. Vary your meeting format. Your club can meet in person or online using e-clubs.
3. Relax attendance requirements. Ease attendance requirements and encourage members to participate in other ways, such as taking a leadership role, updating the club website regularly, running a meeting a few times a year, or planning an event. If your club is dynamic and offers a good experience for members, attendance won't be a problem.
4. Offer multiple membership types. Your club can offer family memberships to those who want to bring their families, junior memberships to young professionals with leadership potential, or corporate memberships to people whose employers want to be represented in the club. Each type of membership can have its own policies on dues, attendance, and service expectations. Rotary will count these people in your club membership and will consider them active members if they pay RI dues.
5. Invite Rotaractors to be members of your club. Rotaractors can join your club while remaining members of their Rotaract clubs. Your club can make special accommodations, such as relaxed attendance requirements or reduced fees, as long as these are reflected in the club’s bylaws.
