Revitalising
Membership
By now many of you will have heard DG Megan and I talk about the new membership initiative that is coming next year called the Global Membership Approach. Membership is the life blood of our great organisation. We are not alone in experiencing difficulties on recruiting and retaining members.
This membership programme, while is has come out of LCI, differs in many ways from any previous attempts to grow member numbers:
1. We are not being told what to do, we are being given a logical process to help.
2. At its centre is an acknowledgement that local people know what will work in their own communities.
3. The process is aimed at getting a team of people together from throughout our district to work together, share experiences and come up with a plan that is right for our clubs.
The programme has 4 main areas of focus to grow membership. These are:
So we are needing to get a team of people together to work on this project. We are looking for people who are passionate about what Lions do in our communities and are keen to help ensure this work continues by growing the number of people who are proud to call themselves Lions.
If this sounds like something you could be interested in, please contact me.
