Riassunto

A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE ROTARY FOUNDATION. This practical guide is a handbook for Rotary clubs around the world. It offers ways to improve club retention and ideas for encouraging full and active participation from all club members. The membership of every civic and service organization has shown a dramatic decline in membership since 1980. Across the board, Lions Clubs, Rotary International, Kiwanis Clubs, Jaycees, Shriners and other successful organizations have seen membership decline by as much as 64% in the past 40 years. Recruiting new, younger members continues to fall short of the losses from attrition, as the average membership age exceeds 64 years.   These civic organizations play a critical role in the health and welfare of millions of people from virtually every country in the world. They have contributed trillions of dollars to eradicate disease, mitigate famine, reduce poverty, promote human rights and to respond to natural disasters.   The fundamental ideas offered in this book are meant to offer a degree of hope to those organizations that are struggling to survive. Just as the torch was passed to the current generation, these organizations must involve and engage those of the next generation on their terms or risk perishing.   To not just survive, but to thrive in the 21st Century, clubs must make an honest assessment of their club’s membership, communications and marketing and then take aggressive ACTION to refine goals and grow their membership. This guide includes tips for evaluating your club, members and programs along with ways to invite women and diversity into the local club environment. In additional strategies for enhanced communication, social media and perfect engagement are also highlighted. It is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to start a new Rotary club in their community or for clubs that are struggling. The authors are available to speak to members or consult with board leaders.
