Membership Committee Meeting
January 17, 2024
Attended: Elinor Jackson, Bill Klumpp, Miriam Zachary
Absent: Mike Spellman, Kevin Keenan, Anoop Mathur, Charlie Oltman, Matt Rossetter
The Membership Committee met at the Shoreview Library on January 17.
We tabled discussion of the results the survey that the committee conducted in September and October due to low attendance. It was felt that most members are planning to continue membership. If there is anyone who is dissatisfied, uncomfortable, or considering leaving our club, please contact someone on the committee so that we can address any problems.
We also discussed the Membership Olympics, which is a district-wide program to boost membership while having fun. There are 7 challenges, of which we have completed 3, including the club survey. The next challenge is to conduct a membership drive, which we intend to do in May/June. We would like to invite non-Rotarians and have several months to target prospective candidates. Please begin to consider at least 2 people you know to interest them in attending.
We would also like to start a “Community Partners” group. These are people who may not immediately want to join Rotary, but would like to be called upon when we do our service projects. When a service project is scheduled, a notice would go out to this list inviting them to join us.
The next meeting is on February 21 at 4:00 at the Shoreview Library.
