Dave Hurt (District Membership Coordinator)I was recently asked by a new incoming club president my thoughts on growing a dynamic club. My answer was to look at the club as a building with four pillars that provided the strength of a good foundation for long-term success.
The Four Pillars of a Successful Club:
Each of these four “pillars of success” has a key purpose in building and sustaining a vibrant club.
The pillars are 1) Membership, 2) Programs, 3) Projects, and 4) Fund Raising. Build on each of these pillars and you will develop an outstanding Rotary Club.
As many District clubs have learned these past two years, club membership growth solves many issues facing Rotary clubs today. You will also find that growing membership is a cornerstone pillar in your club. But club growth is not achieved with a focus only on adding new members, although that is obviously one requisite for growth.
In addition to the membership pillar, there are three additional pillars in the club foundation that must be strong in order to retain members; 1) the project pillar, 2) the programs pillar, and 3) the fundraising pillar.
The August 22 District Seminar has been designed to help clubs build their membership, leadership, and project skills…with a minimum of time and cost. Come as a club TEAM…and the event will help build that team… there is no better way to train club leaders than to attend District functions!
So plan to attend the District Membership/Foundation Seminar August 22 and you will see all four club success “pillars” in action, and grow your team at the same time. If you want to attract and keep like-minded, quality individuals in your club, then this seminar is a must.
Mark August 22 in your calendar…Get your club team together…And sign up today! You’ll be glad you did!!!
