Membership

One of the five pillars for a growing and vibrant club is strong leadership. Check out this video that is less than 5 minutes with some helpful tips from Rotary leaders around the world answering our question, "What can clubs do to build strong leadership?"
 
 
This video is part of the Membership Monday series, put on by a Multi-District Membership Committee with leaders from the four upstate NY district: Rochester, Binghamton, Syracuse and Albany. Stay tuned for their next helpful video or webinar.

Welcome to our District Membership page!

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 district contacts 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.

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.
