SJEE Membership Chair Charlie Wasser gave a wonderful PowerPoint presentation at the club meet on Thursday August 20. The talk was on how we can work together on making our club more Attractive and Engaging to draw in and retain members. Charlie's talk was further reinforced at the District Membership Seminar held at the Embassy Suites on Saturday August 22. The Seminar was attended by President Robbie, Membership Chair Charlie, and Rtn. Suguna. The very lively and informative presentation by two PDG's from Southern California, Wade Nomura and Larry Sundaram, emphasized on "The New Focus". They introduced some very basic and simple tools that Rotary leaders can adopt to attract and retain members at their respective clubs.
President Robbie would like to set up a Membership Committee that would help evaluate our club policies, and initiate some action items to grow and sustain Membership. To learn more and actively participate, please review Charlie's slide show that was mailed to all members, and also visit www.zone2526.org > "Strengthen Clubs" > "Membership" > "Membership Resources".
Loved this from Rtn. Wade Nomura -
"Does your club have the "Cheers" culture -
"Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows you name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same,
People are all the same...."
