How healthy is our club?

 
Last Evening we met to have our meal and then it was Forum time, discussing the health of the Club and Membership.
 
This was presented by Morrinsville President-Elect Bruce Dewhurst.
 
With regard to Membership District Governor-Elect Keith Owens would like to a 3% increase in Club membership and some of the questions put to us included:-
 
•    More males
•    What sort of members do we want? and less females or vica versa or the same ratio
•    Younger members
•    Why do we have members resigning?
•    What methods do we use to encourage new members?
 
 
Also the power point presentation that Bruce had the 5 Steps to a Successful Club:-
•    Health of the Club
•    Retaining existing members
•    Educate existing and new members for future leadership roles.
•    Public Image
•    Attracting new members.
How would you evaluate the Rotary Club of Morrinsville?
Our Club is going well because it is:-
•    Engaging
•    Diverse
•    Growing
•    Positive with Public interest
•    Relevant to the community
•    Trying new ideas
•    Awesome signature Events
•    Great Leadership
•    Engaging Speakers
•    Having FUN   
  OR
Is our Club struggling because ………
•    Disengaged and dissatisfied members.
•    Not representative of the community
•    Stable or declining
•    No interest from the public
•    Is it what the community needs
•    Doing same old thing time and time again
•    We do nothing significant
•    What Leadership? Same old Leaders
•    Dry Politicians and Salespeople
•    What is fun?
 
Retaining Existing Members:-
•    Engage your members
•    Identify at-risk members
•    Give ALL members a task
•    Develop projects that fit our member's interests
