Taking Our Council To A Higher Level - How We Changed Our Council Culture - GK Handbook Serge… St. Joseph Council 8872

ACTIVE MEMBER SURVEY St. Joseph Council 8872

ACTIVE MEMBER SURVEY Successful Program: –More than words –More than a suggestion at a meeting –Taking an initial idea, modifying it to suit specific situations, and implementing Solicitation of ideas and invitation to a Planning/Dinner meeting. St. Joseph Council 8872

SURVEY FEEDBACK St. Joseph Council 8872

SURVEY FEEDBACK Not enough service to Church and community Communication needs to improve St. Joseph Council 8872

SURVEY FEEDBACK The monthly meetings have no life… I think most members dread them. When I attended my first meeting I really didn’t know anyone…No one came over to introduce themselves to me…I felt like a real outcast. I never came to another meeting. St. Joseph Council 8872

SURVEY FEEDBACK “I felt as though I had my arm twisted to join… some guy I hardly knew coming up to me with a membership form…I thought I was coming to the Church to find out more information…it turned out to be the First Degree Exemplification Ceremony. Because of this I have never attended a meeting.” St. Joseph Council 8872

SURVEY FEEDBACK Need to have social time with our Brother Knights and with our wives. Need to recruit members of all ages and give them a reason to stay involved. I have seen new Knights join the Council. At an event there are 3 or 4 new members with 18 others to do the work. We have 80 Knights who do virtually nothing... St. Joseph Council 8872
