Retention (12 months):

This looks at the members who were in chapters 12 months ago and calculates what percentage of these members are still in BNI.

This is done by comparing a list of membership IDs of current members with a list of membership IDs of members 12 months ago and comparing how many match,

then taking the totals as a % of the total membership for each chapter 12 months ago.

Yellow Highlight were within 12 months of their first year

Discuss the net growth for the previous month.

Data is for only the past month.

The goal of the chapter should be net one if the chapter wants to remain the same size and net two or more if the chapter wants to be on a growth path.

3. Membership Review

A) Review the Chapter Roster Report on the next slide to determine if the chapter has a complete Leadership Team and members for every key role.

This information is used for communicating the correct information to the right people and your access in BNI Connect.

To update the roster email the Melbourne Central Admin team or your director to correct BNI Connect

4. Reports Review

B) Over the next 2 slides

Review the Chapter Roster Report to determine how the chapter performed in the three month PALMS.

It is important to look at this trend compared to the Chapter Traffic Lights to see if there is a change in performance.

The Chapter Traffic Lights shows the last six months which makes it hard to see recent trends.

What are the current trends?

What actions can we take to address these trends?

  • Education topics
  • Membership Committee follow ups
  • Chapter communications?

Chapter Roster Report – 90 days of PALMS (12 weeks)

It is important to consider the Referrals Received (RR) column

Don’t get stuck on individuals look at the overall trends for all members. Membership committee supports individuals.

FYI - 1 a week for 90 days is an average 12 and 3 months (so 3 visitors and 12 Referrals and 121s)

C) Review the Region Chapter Traffic Lights. (On the next Slide)

The chapter should have the goal of being in the top percentage bracket in all areas if possible.

Depending on the size of the chapter and the goal for inviting visitors, it may be acceptable for the visitor conversion rate to be lower than the maximum point value.

Size +30, Growth above +2, Retention 70%, Referrals +1.11, Visitors +2, Absences -5%

What were you goals on the first slide?

  • Are you on track?
  • What is one thing you could focus on this month to help achieve your goals?

b. For the members in the bottom three positions. What can be done to help them improve performance? � Note: There is a misconception that new members can be in the grey without alarm.

c. Discuss how the Mentor Coordinator and the Go 4 Green Coordinator can help support getting these members more engaged.
