Chapter Roster Report

14 of 43

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

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?

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

The final decision on non-renewal should happen on or around the member’s renewal date.�

d. It is important that the BNI Regional Office knows the person is not going to be renewed so that
