Rotary Club of Oxford Spires

Rotarians from Oxford, Bicester, Abingdon, Witney

The two key duties of the membership committee are recruitment and retention of members.

Recruitment of new members involves:

Publicising the club and its activities in a manner that will attract potential new members
Following up membership inquiries with first contact and invitation to meetings/events
Ensuring visitors / potential new members feel welcome and involved
Maintaining follow-up contact to gauge their interest, leading towards submitting a proposal of membership to club council
If not interested, try to gather feedback as to why and perhaps what Rotary was not offering as an organisation

Retention of existing members involves:

Asking current members whether the club has the right mix of activities
Discussing with new members their expectations
Ensuring new members are made aware of the wider aspects of Rotary at district, national and international levels, including the role of the Rotary Foundation
Promoting within the club the founding principles of Rotary, including the Object of Rotary and the 4-way test
Surveying departing members on their reasons for leaving (if relevant), and on any other feedback from their time in the club.
Using information gathered to propose new activities, projects etc. to better fulfil the wishes of members
