8. Membership Some of the information is available from your club secretary Some of the information will need to be obtained through surveys
9. Surveys On-line which will address those members who use technology and are encouraged to respond At the club meeting Set a due date and send out reminders Survey monkey Some members will need to be surveyed by paper At the club meeting
10. District Trainer (DT) Bev Eckholt Survey design and managing data A real example
11. Writing a goal Shared Measurable Challenging Achievable Time specific
12. Shared Reach a consensus on something that is valued by your leadership team/club. In membership, the goal shouldn’t be just to increase numbers: it should be made to enrich the quality of your club. Look for a balance. Young/old. Male/female Sales/NFP/law/medicine/business/ Talk about what your club is now and what you (all) want it to be
13. Measurable “increase membership” is too broad. In 2012-2013 the XXX Club will increase its membership by 10% (4 members). Put some checks along the way. Look at where you are by September, again in November.
14. Challenging *If your club typically gets a couple of members per year, boost the goal. *If your club hasn’t gotten a new member in the past, shoot for one. *If your club gets two new members but looses a couple, then look at closing the back door. *This is an opportunity for you to ask the deeper questions: why AREN’T we showing growth? Most often it is because we don’t offer enough to retain new members:
15. Deeper questions Is the environment of the club welcoming—are there cliques? Inner circles and outer circles? Is there an opportunity for every member to be involved (and valued)? Is there genuine fellowship (laugh or at least a smile) Is there clear purpose: good works Do you have a flagship project that creates pride in being a Rotarian in your community
16. Achievable A goal needs to be high enough to aim for and low enough to be within reach. Impossible goals defeat everyone. Don’t be afraid to fall short because that’s another opportunity for deeper conversations
17. Time specific A good goal will have a deadline A better goal will have benchmarks along the way toward that deadline.
18. How should goals be created? 1. Data driven. This is a tremendous learning opportunity for your club to learn about themselves. 2. In concert with your leadership team (Board meeting) or with your club (Club assembly). 3. Share to goals with the club. Report on the progress toward the goal.
19. After a goal has consensus and is set Share with your AG Solicit your AG for support in meeting your goals. Look at district level committees for further support Take advantage of DT Bev Eckholt as a strong resource for your club beveckholt@gmail.com District Governor is there for service & support
20. Remember…. Goals made in isolation are doomed to be carried out alone
