Today, Rotary enjoys unprecedented prominence throughout the
world, thanks in large part to our polio eradication efforts, the
Rotary Centers peace program, and our partnerships with other
leading organizations. Supported by RI resources, our clubs and
districts have achieved great success in making their good work
known in their local communities and enhancing Rotary’s public
image. And recently, London’s Financial Times ranked Rotary
International as one of the top five nongovernmental
organizations for corporate partnerships.

 

This convergence of positive publicity has created an ideal
climate for membership recruitment. The stars are aligned,
but it’s up to each club to make the most of this favorable
situation.

 

As we enter the second half of the Rotary year, it’s a good time
to assess membership statistics. Where does your club stand in
comparison to 30 June 2007? How many new members have
you brought in? And don’t forget about retention. It’s even more
important — and easier — to keep active members than to
recruit new ones.

 

If your mid-year assessment shows a loss of members, it’s time
to change your strategy. Visit www.rotary.org to find resources
that will help you develop new tactics for recruitment and
retention. A few ideas: Download the retention model and other
club assessment tools to create an accurate profile of your
membership. Give all new members a copy of Rotary Basics
(595-EN) to jumpstart their Rotary education. Use the Humanity
in Motion public service announcements your club will receive this
month to promote your service projects. And don’t forget to give
a new member sponsor pin to everyone who brings in a new member
this year.

 

The second half of the year is the time to step up your efforts,
not wind down. Let’s show Rotary Shares by sharing Rotary.
