Rewards and recognition for membership growth is always a nice incentive to your club members!  R.I. has a nice recognition program...but the details to receive the new member pin are important to follow.  Last year a few recognition pins were not shipped because a sponsor was not linked to the new member...there are other details too...see below.  Please pass this on to your current club president and membership chair...
 
FYI, the leadership and membership train-the-trainer course is underway...it is designed primarily for your AG’s but club presidents and membership chairs are also welcome.  Ask your AG for the date, time, and location where your area will meet...this is FREE advanced quality training to develop leaders and grow your club at the same time...your club will reap the benefits!
 
Yours in Rotary,

Dear Club Presidents, Club Secretaries and Club Membership Chairs,
Greetings from Evanston! We hope this message finds you well.
Since its start in January 2014, the New Member Sponsor Recognition Program has been received well around the world. We hope that your club will continue to take advantage of this opportunity to recognize your members’ efforts in strengthening your clubs.
To ensure your sponsors are recognized please remember that the program is almost entirely automated and relies on sponsor information provided by club officers. The most common reason clubs do not receive sponsor recognition pins is the absence of a sponsor linked to a new member in Rotary database. The pin shipment is generated when the sponsor’s name and email is received in RI database. Directions to enter sponsor names and email addresses are available at the link below: http://www.highroadsolution.com/file_upload_2/files/sponsor+name+and+email+addresses+en.pdf
A few other things to keep in mind:
1. Sponsor names do not transfer from ClubRunner or DACdb to RI database if they were added after the new members were already entered there. We recommend you check sponsor names in Rotary Club Central reports from time to time to ensure that recognition opportunities are not missed. Directions to view related reports are available at the link below: http://www.highroadsolution.com/file_upload_2/files/new+member+sponsor+reports+en.pdf
2. Pins typically take 6 to 8 weeks for international delivery (4 to 6 weeks for US) from the date when the sponsor information is received. To minimize the waiting period, we recommend entering sponsor names in myRotary as soon as the information is available.
3. New member sponsors without email address in RI database will receive communication regarding the pin by letters in the mail, and the pin processing will take longer than usual. If an email address is available, please consider updating it in myRotary.
The brochure and frequently asked questions may also be helpful resources. Thank you for your support for membership development, and please contact us if we can be of assistance.
Best regards,
