August is the designated month for Membership and New Club Development. And as we are all aware, “Membership” is the number one internal priority of Rotary International. Why? Because membership is one of the pathways through which we can extend our footprint and enhance the impact of our projects.
As District Governor, one of my roles is to encourage clubs to increase our membership. And the statistics show that clubs have taken heed. We are bringing in new members. We are forming new clubs and our district is one of the fastest growing Rotary districts in the world. Sadly however, our district is also continuously losing members. Over the last four years, we have been losing an average of 200 – 300 members a year!! And so the question is - why are our clubs so porous? Therefore as we celebrate this month, it is imperative that we focus on the retention of the people who come through our doors.
