Growing Rotary enables us to do more good in our communities and the world.  Attendance at the D5890 Membership Meeting is a great opportunity to bond with your club's Area Membership Chair (AMC) & other district leaders.
Speaker - Bill Griffin, Sugar Land Rotarian & District 5890 Scouting Programs Chair
 
Topic - "2016-2017 Recipe for Growing & Retaining New Members"
Member recruitment is only part of the membership formula. The high turnover rate in existing clubs is the most pressing membership issue facing Rotary today.  Retention starts the first time a prospective member meets your Rotary club.  Membership retention is not a once-a-year crash program implemented in desperation to boost numbers, but should be an ongoing and methodical activity to ensure the member's sense of belonging and to enlist his/her participation.  Active new members are more likely to renew than those that remain on the sidelines.
 
We look forward to the attendance of at least one (1) representative from your club.  You don't want to miss Bill's cogent presentation!
 
Yours in Rotary service,
