Dr Drew Markham addressed the club on the subject of membership succession planning and visioning.
Over the last 12 years Rotary and our Club has lost as many members as we have gained.
The Club seems to have 2 large groups , those with many years experience and those with less than 5 years experience.
One thing the board is looking at is the Corporate membership wherein any company can heve a membership with one primary member and a number of designated alternates. Drew sees one of the benefits being that the tendancy would be yto have more corporate donations flow from these entities.
We are looking at hosting a Chamber of Commerce Business after Hours to showcase our Club.
Future projects was discussed with the thought that we should understand what we say NO to.
Our new projects group should develop a list of 15 -20 projects so that we have an actual plan going forward and be less reactive going forward.
We need to determine whether we want to do many smaller things or one large project.
We need to determine whether we are more inclined to do projects with a people focus or build things.
The Health Check survey is being sent out as a way to gauge how the club is feeling now.
Please complete the Your Club Experience and Business and Operations sections of the survey and get them to Drew.
Comments are welcome as appropriate.
