Ideas for strengthening membership |

| Strategies for boosting membership |
When membership is strong, our Rotary and Rotaract clubs have more opportunities to help communities flourish.
Discover strategies for sustainable growth in the newly updated presentation on The State of Membership. This slide presentation provides an overview of our membership as of 1 July, highlights the latest trends, and is easily customized. We also now have a presentation on The State of Rotaract. It’s completely new and focuses on strengthening collaboration between Rotary and Rotaract!
To gain a deeper understanding of the data presented, play the recording of the webinar The State of Membership. The comprehensive webinar explores various strategies for attracting and retaining members as well as establishing new clubs, and it is invaluable for anyone who supports membership. |

Nominating members for the Service Above Self Award
|
| Rotary’s Service Above Self Award honors Rotarians — and now also Rotaractors — who help others by volunteering their time and talents. Only district governors can nominate candidates for this prestigious award, and a maximum of 150 recipients are selected each year. If you know someone who has demonstrated exemplary service, encourage their governor to nominate them for the Service Above Self Award, one of Rotary International’s highest distinctions in service, between 1 and 31 October. |

Action Plan engagement, membership growth often go together
|
Some of the regions where membership is growing the most are Africa and the Middle East, India, and Central and Southeast Asia. Those are also some of the places where the Action Plan is being used the most, according to survey data.
Get your club in on the action. Explore the Action Plan through our new videos and discussion guides. Just pick a priority (impact, reach, engagement, or adapting), watch the video, and start a conversation using the guide. It’s an easy, meaningful way to bring strategy to life, not to mention a handy backup when a speaker cancels or you need a last-minute meeting idea. |
