Understanding Rotary members’ needs — the key to engaged members
What do members want from their Rotary experience? And why do some members leave? Our research shows that members value local community service, friendship, and fellowship most. They cite time and cost, the club environment, and unmet expectations as reasons for leaving.
The key to engaging members is providing an experience that meets their needs and expectations. Learn more in the newly revised presentation The State of Rotary Membership, which contains membership data and trends for the first half of the 2020-21 Rotary year. In it, you’ll also find ways to address membership challenges so you can finish the year strong. The 12-slide PowerPoint presentation can easily be customized to meet your region’s needs. Consider showing it at your next meeting or event.
Members will soon be able to review district information from a dedicated landing page on My Rotary. In a few weeks, you’ll easily see which clubs and members are part of your district. This enhancement is part of the ongoing upgrades being made to the site. Throughout 2021, you will see improvements to the My Rotary experience by:
- Making district officer and assistant governor information more easily accessible
- Improving the process for district officers to report, remove, and replace district officers
- Simplifying the assistant governor appointment process
- Introducing a dashboard for governors that presents key district information in a visually meaningful way
- Updating the process for managing district conferences and obtaining feedback
- Recognizing members who have sponsored a certain number of new members
These new features will be released throughout the year.
One of the most significant impacts on Rotary membership growth, engagement and retention during 2021 will be the way every Rotary club shifts from primarily virtual club meetings to Hybrid Meetings (a combination of members meeting in-person and virtually). Just as clubs effectively pivoted to virtual meetings, the next opportunity is to prepare for the in-person/virtual hybrid experience. As the pandemic declines, and more are vaccinated, many members will want to gather again. The Hybrid Meeting model honors and serves both groups … those who wish to meet in person and members most comfortable attending virtually.
All resources associated with planning effective hybrid club meetings are located on our website's Hybrid Club Meetings page. That page is being updated frequently as our Region 36 Hybrid Club Meeting Planning Committee is identifying new and/or updated best practice resources. It is listed on our home page menu under Other Resources.
