To be effective, a Rotary club needs members. Your club’s ability to assist local and international communities, support The Rotary Foundation, and develop leaders capable of serving Rotary beyond the club level is directly related to the strength, size, and involvement of its membership base. A club membership committee ensures a concerted effort to recruit new members and retain current ones. This ongoing process is essential to supporting Rotary International, which needs a dedicated club membership base to succeed. Specifically, the role of the Club Membership Committee is to develop and implement an action plan for membership development that actively attract, retain and engage members.
 
Some of the responsibilities of the Club Membership Committee include:
  • Develop committee goals to achieve club’s annual goals.
  • Conduct club assessments to determine strengths and weaknesses. 
  • Work with the public relations committee to create a positive club image that is attractive to prospective and current members alike.
  • Develop programs to educate and train new and current club members.

  • Produce the club bulletin and maintain the club Web site so as to keep members informed.
