8. Engagement vs Attendance!
Engaged Rotary advocates attract and propose an average of 5.4 more new members than the average club member,
Retaining members starts with the initial contact, continues until the relationship ends, and is directly related to:
The way the club engages and communicates with its members, and the reputation in the community.
Engaging members is more than involving them in programs and activities. Informed members expect this. Engaging members is about exceeding their expectations to the point where they become advocates.
Engagement is the important piece of retention and with engagement you will have individuals who will ask others to come and help with a project, fundraising or maybe a fellowship event.
