Regional membership plans help districts and clubs to improve both qualitatively and quantitatively for the following:

–Membership Goal setting– Learning techniques of membership

development– Recruitment– Assimilation and Retention– Extension

In District conducting zone wise membership seminars helped the club leaders and membership chairs to plan, and learn how to inform and act.

“The Zone V which is the largest Zone in membership continues to grow by about 7% annually adopting the good techniques of RMP.”

Listing of Rotary, Rotaract and TRF Alumni helped in widening base of Potential/ Prospective members.

“A database under preparation for the same.”

Promoting Couple and Family Memberships with incentives like rebate in club dues resulted in immediate growth.

“Many clubs have introduced this concept and we are expecting at least five couple members in a club this year.”

Appointing District Officers on Special Duty for weak clubs resulted in more vibrant clubs, thereby promoting membership growth.

“We have allotted a special budget for this exercise to do a health check up on weak clubs and turn them into active vibrant club.”

Rewarding district and clubs with Membership zone and district awards resulted in significant motivation and encouragement to perform better.

“For the first time this year we have introduced Zonal awards for Clubs and individual Rotarians for their contribution in membership development which is highly encouraging.”
