District Membership Chair, David Berg announces Membership Breakout Sessions at Extravaganza
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:
  1. Membership Strategic Planning, Club Assessments, the Seven Step Plan and Rotary Club Central membership goals.
  2. RI Membership Materials, Attracting Young Professionals, Gaining Diversity, Retention and other similar subjects.
  3. Membership options such as Satellite Clubs, Corporate Membership, Membership Incentives and Membership Forums.
