Take Advantage of Membership Resources

Welcome to our District Membership page!

Our District's “Grow Rotary Team” provides support to clubs as they recruit, orient, engage and retain members.
We want to grow vibrant, flexible, diverse and fun loving clubs.

Rotary International places a high priority on growing membership.
As a club’s membership increases, so does their ability to help in their community
and in other locations around the world.

This page features resources from Rotary International, stories from around the district and contacts from around the district that can assist your club in developing a strategy for growth. Take advantage of all of it and ensure your club's membership chair logs on for all the latest news and information!

The District Membership Committee is here to support clubs in growing membership no matter what else is going on in the world. Sometimes, when things feel a little uncomfortable or we feel out of control, it helps to have a plan. The same goes for Rotary membership! Here are some forms that will give your club the tools needed to develop a plan for growth.

Take your club's goals from dreamland to real life by coming up with a plan. We have links below to download some simple forms. The first will help you evaluate where you are with your membership efforts and brainstorm new ideas. The second form is where you outline the action items that are going to help you reach your goals. Need help working through these? Reach out to District Membership Chair Janet Joslyn for assistance.

The State of Membership
It's easy to go negative when talking about membership in volunteer organizations, but that's not us. In the grand scheme of things, Rotary is doing okay! In fact, in parts of the world, people are lining up to get into our organization! One could argue that declines are NOT due to people wanting to volunteer less, but rather to a diversification of how people can volunteer. That's why we are always telling clubs to get creative to attract new members.
 
Curious about how things are really going with Rotary's membership? Download Rotary's State of Membership Report (July 2019) and don't hesitate to share this with your members. In fact, this would make for a great meeting program for your membership chair to review and generate discussion in the group!
Be sure to customize this PowerPoint presentation because there are some fill-in-the-blanks you should do first. Also, you could add a slide with information about your club's membership. You can look at your club's trends in the goal center of Rotary Club Central (accessible to your membership chair, president, secretary and executive secretary) at rcc.rotary.org.

Engage Your New Members with Rotary Resources
Want to give something to new members when they join? The new Rotary Basics offers an overview of all things Rotary. It includes information for all Rotarians, especially new members who are interested in our history and values, plus a Rotary glossary. If you need ideas for getting new Rotarians involved and giving them a meaningful experience, look to Introducing New Members to Rotary: An Orientation Guide.
 
Membership Leads
Don’t forget to check your district or club membership leads page. If you have any outstanding leads, follow up on them and update their status online.
The Managing Membership Leads webinar shows districts how to use this tool and provides best practices for clubs. Since it started in December 2015, the membership leads program has resulted in thousands of new Rotarians by routing prospective members to districts, then to clubs.
 
Club Membership Figures to be reported by June 30th
Rotary International made an important change that could affect your club’s membership figures. If you have new members you wanted counted in your membership achievements for this Rotary year, they must be reported to Rotary on or before June 30th.
●    Members added with July 1 effective dates will no longer be included in your new Rotary year membership start number, but they will be billed on the July club invoice and counted toward membership growth for the year.
●    Members terminated with effective dates on or before July 1 will reduce your club’s membership achievement for this year, reduce your July 1 membership start number, and will not be counted in the July club invoice.
We hope this simplifies your reporting and reflects your membership more accurately.
Questions? Write to membershipdevelopment@rotary.org.
 
Do you have new club members?
If so, please share their names and contact information with our District 7150 Membership Chair, PDG Deb Glisson. Deb would like to welcome and share updates regarding new members to our District!

MEMBERSHIP GROWTH BEGINS WITH YOU! 
What you can dream, you can create. What you can dream, you can be.
Rotary gives our members the ability to make a difference, and provides an exclusive benefit to our members to follow their passion in helping others.
 
Rotary empowers our membership to dream large in addressing needs in local and international communities. There is no other organization that has the structure, the network and resources that are available to its membership. Individual members create our projects – from the global eradication of polio, to a local beautification project, our members determine our action.

It's the start of a new Rotary year. Is your club ready to make a different in your community? Is it strong, vibrant, and growing? Are your members engaged and satisfied with their club experience? If the answer is no to any of these questions, there’s plenty of time to make a positive change in your club’s future. 

Rotary has eight membership-related courses available in the Learning Center. Each course includes a variety of materials, including self-guided learning modules. The interactive modules present real-life scenarios that let you test different actions to see what happens.
 
The courses are: 
•    Is Your Club Healthy?
•    Building a Diverse Club
•    Online Membership Leads
•    Practicing Flexibility and Innovation
•    Strategies for Attracting New Members 
•    Kick-start Your New Member Orientation
•    Best Practices for Engaging Members
•    Your Membership Plan (coming soon)

To decide which areas to focus on, start with the course Is Your Club Healthy? Ask your membership committee to help you prioritize the course areas, then begin exploring. 

The courses are free and available on demand, so you can take them at your convenience. Members can access the courses in the Learning Center after signing in to their My Rotary account. 

You’ll find the Learning Center under Learning & Reference in the menu. In the Learning Center, select the Membership category along the left side of the page.
