Key points

One of your primary responsibilities is to look for opportunities to start clubs in your district that meet the needs of potential members — including those who may be ready to leave their current clubs.
Your district team can help look for opportunities to start different kinds of clubs that engage new groups in different ways. Review Club Types, Formats, and Models in Appendix 2 for some examples.
Prospective members may be more likely to join a club that accommodates their busy schedules, reflects the diversity of their community, and supports a cause they are passionate about.
Many people contribute to the success of new clubs, including new club advisers, district membership committee members, Rotaractors, and advocates for diversity and innovation.
Help new clubs succeed with a district plan to support them over time. Demonstrate your commitment to continuity by supporting new clubs started by your predecessor, and ask your successor to support new clubs that you start.

Discussion questions

What is your experience with starting clubs in your district? When is the last time your district chartered a club?
What obstacles have you encountered in starting clubs? What is essential to starting a club?
Looking at Appendix 2, which models or formats are in place in your district? If your district hasn’t adopted new club formats, which does your district seem ready for?
How can different club types, meeting formats, and models lead to membership growth and increased diversity in your district? For example, how could a cause-based club have a positive impact on membership and participation in your district?
Who can help you look for opportunities to start clubs? Who can help you support new clubs?

Key points

The club experience is key to member engagement. Members have to find the experience valuable enough to invest their time and money.
Clubs that use self-assessments are in a better position to determine if they should maintain their traditions and requirements or make changes to improve the club experience in order to ensure that each member finds value in their experience.
To broaden their appeal to the community and potential members, clubs should consider varying their meeting formats and the types of membership they offer. Encourage clubs to use the Club Health Check and Membership Assessment Tools and to make changes based on their findings.
Some clubs that need to change may be resistant to doing so. Think about how you, as the leader of your district, can help clubs through that process.

Discussion questions

How will you determine whether a club’s membership is engaged? What people or resources can help you make that determination?
How can you and your team recognize when a club might need additional support? What are some ways you can offer support?
What examples have you seen of clubs that increased engagement by changing their rules and practices?
Why might some members resist change? How can you help club leaders manage that resistance?

DISCUSSION QUESTION

What are some ways you can help members and participants understand the impact of our Foundation?
How does your district administer DDF? What aspects of your current policy work well? What do you plan to change, if anything?
How can you ensure continuity of the district Foundation team from one year to the next?
How can you encourage members to consider what impact they want to have before they begin planning service activities?
How can you encourage clubs to use local and regional project planning resources (the Cadre, Rotary Action Groups, etc.)?
What is your personal giving story? How can it inspire others in your district to give?
What activities can motivate members in your district to promote and advocate for giving to the Foundation?

HERB – 20 minutes

Key points

The club experience is key to member engagement. Members have to find the experience valuable enough to invest their time and money.
Clubs that use self-assessments are in a better position to determine if they should maintain their traditions and requirements or make changes to improve the club experience in order to ensure that each member finds value in their experience.
To broaden their appeal to the community and potential members, clubs should consider varying their meeting formats and the types of membership they offer. Encourage clubs to use the Club Health Check and Membership Assessment Tools and to make changes based on their findings.
Some clubs that need to change may be resistant to doing so. Think about how you, as the leader of your district, can help clubs through that process.

Discussion questions

How will you determine whether a club’s membership is engaged? What people or resources can help you make that determination?
How can you and your team recognize when a club might need additional support? What are some ways you can offer support?
What examples have you seen of clubs that increased engagement by changing their rules and practices?
Why might some members resist change? How can you help club leaders manage that resistance?
