Enhancing Participant Engagement

Are you taking full advantage of everything your Rotary membership has to offer? We know that our members and people who engage with us are seeking experiences that are relevant and fulfilling, both personally and professionally. How can we make sure we give them meaningful opportunities to learn and evolve with us throughout their lives? Being connected with Rotary gives you access to a global network of professionals and leaders who share a passion for applying their collective expertise and resources to make a positive change—and have fun while doing it!

Join us for the second webinar in our Engaging Members + Delivering Value series, Enhancing Participant Engagement. Register now for one of the sessions using the hyperlinks and submit your questions to our experts. A recording will be available to everyone who registers:

REGISTER NOW: Thursday, 11 November 11:00 (UTC-6). See the time in a city near you.

During this webinar we will speak to participants who are taking full advantage of their membership in Rotary while we learn to:
•   Prioritize the needs, expectations, and growth of our participants
•   Support participants in finding long-term value in their membership
•   Address what we know about why participants become disengaged
