Membership development is on everybody’s mind these days
As people’s lives get busier, Rotary drops on some people’s priority list.
President Elect Chris Hurley has made membership growth his top priority next year.
Here’s a list of ideas other clubs in Iowa are using to stem the tide of losing members.
--Create a DVD about our club to give to prospective members.
--Involve new members in club activities.
--Invite prospective members to participate in a club project.
--Survey those who have left the club for their reasons.
--Dress up meetings to better appeal to “under 40” prospects.
--Have a “Rotary 101” program from time to time.
--Encourage younger members to participate in social events.
