Membership Proposal Process
PROPOSING A NEW MEMBER - Building membership in our Rotary club is very important if we are to continue to have healthy and viable service organization. It's necessary that we get our "Ask in Gear", and ASK our friends, neighbors and colleagues to join us in our world of Service Above Self. It is equally important that once we take the first step of bringing them to a meeting, that we understand the process of membership proposal through the induction of the new Rotarian. Outlined below are the steps:
- Ask them to join us for a minimum of three meetings to see if they have an interest and would like to make a commitment to Rotary.
- If they are interested, fill in the Membership proposal form (a copy can be obtained from the Membership Chair, or downloaded from the website, under Site Pages, Joining Rotary)
- Present the proposal to the BOD for approval, and once approved then;
- the proposed member's name and classification will be posted in the newsletter.
- They are to receive Rotary Information from a member of the Membership Committee, and
- dues are paid.
- Once the above has been completed, they are to be inducted into our membership.
When in question, ask someone on the Membership Committee to give you help. Once we have someone in the membership process, A member of the Committee will shepherd the process so that it does not stall along the way. The new member's sponsor should provide mentoring and support through the initial phase.
