KEYS TO MEMBER RETENTION & ATTRACTION

– Autonomy• People want to be part of something that’s

self-governing – Purpose

• People want to be part of something meaningful – an organization that’s making a difference

– Mastery• People want to be part of something that’s as good as

any and better than most at what it does

QUESTIONS…

– Autonomy??– Purpose??

• Does your club actually DO enough to keep its members engaged in its Purpose?

• Is its Purpose clearly part of the President’s vision?

– Mastery??• Is your club actually working at mastering its game?• Does your club have an idea of what mastery looks

like?

MASTERY

– A truly effective Rotary club is one that: 1. Sustains or increases its membership base2. Implements successful projects that address the needs

of its community and communities in other countries3. Supports the Rotary Foundation through both

program participation and financial contributions4. Develops future club leaders capable of serving in

Rotary beyond the club

LOSS of SUSTAINABILITY– Slip below critical mass of ~ 20 members– From 18 to 16 to 14 – Don’t realize what’s happening– Meetings of 10-12 members = Trouble attracting

speakers– Trouble attracting new members– Trouble executing meaningful projects– Nobody wants to be President the third time– Aging out together – many of these same clubs have

few members under 50– At 10-12 members, 1 or 2 key players are holding the

club together– Something happens to one of those -- Lights out

Fact:

Of the 10 clubs in D-7750 with the largest % membership loss this year, NINE are under 25 members.

A NET LOSS of THIRTY members
