This years Foundation, Membership and Public Image Extravaganza, August 19th at the Tarrant County College NW Campus will provide you and your fellow club members the tools they need to have the most successful Rotary year ever.
More Foundation Giving, More Members to do the work and more community publicity about Rotary, those "People of Action" Making a Difference.
Kelly C. Atkinson, PDG, is a native Utahn who has lived in the Salt Lake City Valley his entire life.
Kelly has a passion for Rotary and its humanitarian missions and it shows when he speaks. A sought after motivational speaker, he has addressed Girls State, RYLAs, over 100 youth groups, Interact, Rotaract, Zone Institutes and 300 Rotary Clubs as well as serving as a Rotary Presidential Representative. In 2007 he was the chairman of the House of Friendship Center at the Rotary International 2007 Convention. He is a Paul Harris Society member as well as a Major Donor.
In membership, one approach doesn't always work for an organization as diverse as Rotary. Each club has its own culture and set of dynamics which creates a unique set of minds working together as one to make the world a different place, a better place, a more peaceful and stable place. This independence makes Rotary International today one of the most effective humanitarian service organizations on the planet, yet Rotary's model also contributes to Rotary's membership challenges because membership is by invitation only. Inviting someone into a vibrant club is a process which each club establishes so all current members feel comfortable.
We will be providing 3 unique thirty minute sessions covering:
Membership Strategic Planning, Club Assessments, the Seven Step Plan and Rotary Club Central membership goals.
RI Membership Materials, Attracting Young Professionals, Gaining Diversity, Retention and other similar subjects.
Membership options such as Satellite Clubs, Corporate Membership, Membership Incentives and Membership Forums.
Presumably, your club has already or is in the process of establishing club goals for the Rotary, Making A Difference year. Here are some tools at your disposal:
Rotary Club presidents and their leadership have completed their strategic plan update for the coming year. For most, membership growth is at the top of the list that club membership committees will be addressing throughout the remainder of the year. The District 5790 Membership Committee has identified specific activities that successful clubs can adopt to achieve their goals.
The District 5790 Awards & Membership Committees have used many of these specific activities to design the 2017-2018 District 5790 Membership Awards Submission form. Club membership committees may wish to download a PDF copy of the 2017-2018 District 5790 Membership Awards Submission form and it to establish membership milestones and goals for 2017-2018.
The culture of a Rotary Club should be determined by the many talented personalities of members all supporting one cause…”Service above self”. Getting the membership pulling together in the same direction, as a unified team, suggests the need for some degree of planning. Significant achievements of clubs result by design, not by chance!
Does your clubs strategic plan include the identification and training of future club and perhaps district leaders? Then this program is ideal for those up-and-coming leaders. This 2 day seminar will not only prepare them to be better Rotary leaders but will provide them tools that will advance their careers as well. Your clubs future leaders can register now by hovering your pointer on the image below, clicking and following prompts. At a mere $150 plus the cost of hotel fees, this training is a bargain.
