How to Propose a New Member
PROPOSING NEW MEMBERS
New members bring fresh perspectives and ideas to our club, expand our presence in the community, and help ensure our club is strong and vibrant.
We’ve got some great potential members in our area — it’s just a matter of finding them!
Here are some suggestions to get the conversation started.
SHARE WHAT ROTARY MEANS TO YOU
Share why you value your Rotary membership:
• We share common interests and have fun.
• We make a positive impact in our community through service projects.
• We’re part of a global network of friends.
Emphasize professional benefits with colleagues:
• We share business connections and expand our professional networks.
• We have opportunities to develop professional skills.
Share Rotary videos and photos of meaningful initiatives with your social media network.
Wear your Rotary pin to initiate conversations about your involvement with Rotary.
SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CLUB AND ROTARY
Encourage interested prospects to learn more about Rotary Clubs and Rotary on our club website and Rotary.org.
Offer a club brochure that highlights recent service projects and social events.
Bring them along to a weekly Club luncheon meeting or a social event.
Invite friends, family, co-workers, and colleagues to a club activity or project.
If a prospective member expresses interest in joining our club, make sure they understand expectations of membership, including club fees.
