It’s worth considering starting a club that is linked with your own, a satellite club or a companion club that you work with. One that will not charter itself but be a branch of your own club.
There are also a whole host of useful sessions on membership on the Rotary Learning Center which is also accessed via My Rotary.
Did you know that there is now a quarterly membership meeting hosted by the District 7030 Membership Team? Club leaders should attend to get membership advice and best practices, while also using the opportunity to share solutions and ideas, as well as, better understand and implement the Membership Action Plan offered by Zones 33/34.
There is also District 7030 Membership group on Facebook which any and all club leaders should join to stay updated on all things membership, and to exchange thoughts, suggestions and resources among each other.
So, now that you have these tools and resources, you should also know that all the above comes with support from the District 7030 Membership Team – so feel free to reach out to them if you and your club need assistance.
