Membership Think-Tank: four times this Rotary year – two Saturdays @ morning coffee time (jammies permitted) and two mid-weeks lunches (your brown bag), we will gather remotely to hear your opinions and ideas. One-hour max! You might not commit to all but we want your voice @ at least some so that we can hear from the boots-on-the-ground about: membership ideas that worked, issues regarding membership in your club, what we need to start/stop/continue in terms of membership, and so on.
This is to be a free-flowing conversation whereby each of us can put thoughts on the table, and your membership committee can (a) facilitate and (b) share your input with the whole District. No problem is too small and no solution irrelevant for this discussion. Themes might be: attracting new members, keeping members, understanding why members leave us, surveying members to get a sense of their satisfaction, re-inventing our clubs to attract and keep members, and any other membership issue.
If you sign up you will receive notifications of meetings times with no commitments except that your district membership committee hopes that you can attend a meeting or four meetings! Contact gailgosse7@gmail.com for details.
