DUE TO: POLITICAL INSTABILITY HIGH COST OF ROTARY NEGATIVE PUBLIC IMAGE DURING THE PAST 3 YEARS

CURRENTLY D2451 REACHED 1878 MEMBERS, AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 31 NEW MEMBERS OVER 9 MONTHS. THIS DOES NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL STATUS SINCE WE GAINED NEW 53 ACTIVE MEMBERS AND THE CLUBS CANCELLED AN EQUAL NUMBER OF INACTIVE MEMBERS. 4 CLUBS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER FORMATION, 1 OF WHICH IS A NEW GENERATION CLUB

District 2451 Main Membership Challenges

• Membership decrease in the last 3 years• High age range in most of the clubs

• Unavailability of sound gender analysis • Need to attract young generations

• Lack of understanding of “classification” concept

• Negative effect of weak and small clubs on membership growth.

• No system to trace “Retention”
