DESCRIPTION
The Paul Harris Society recognizes individuals who annually contribute $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or an approved Rotary Foundation grant. While Paul Harris Societies are not new to many districts, as of 1 July 2013 The Rotary Foundation has made the Paul Harris Society an official recognition program worldwide. Whether you have an established Paul Harris Society or are just starting out, learn how this recognition will remain the same and what changes have been made to provide increased support for your efforts in promoting it. These slides include best practices for identifying and inviting new members, collecting membership information, as well as ways of promoting and administering a successful Paul Harris Society in your district. Continued support to The Rotary Foundation helps fulfill the promises we made to improve our communities and communities around the world. These slides are from the webinar of the same name which took place October 2 & 3, 2013. Please visit www.rotary.org/webinars to view a recording of the session.
