As a result, in 2011, the Board proposed a new initiative– Regional Membership Plans. The initiative empowered Rotarians around the world to develop membership strategies that work best in their region.
The Directors lead regional teams, including an appointed project leads, Rotary Coordinators, and Rotarians of all levels to create plans with strategies and measurable tactics to increase membership recruitment and retention.
The Board allocated 3 million dollars over 3 years to fund these regional activities.
Regional Membership teams were encouraged to develop strategies to attract new members, engage current members, and increase diversity in clubs.
Unfortunately as a whole… our gains are NOT offsetting our losses. Based on member numbers for 1 July 2013, we have 1.185 million members. This is 23,000 fewer from the 30 June 2013 number of 1.208 million members and 17,000 fewer from 1 July 2012 of 1.202
