MEMBERSHIP GROWTH: Whose Responsibility is it Anyway?(shared from the official blog of the Rotary Club of Portmore and thanks to Rhonda) This is a story about four brothers named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry with that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.Who is responsible for attracting new members, retaining present members, and by extension growing the Club’s membership? YOU ARE! Yes You! So you’re just a member? That doesn’t matter. Realize that MEMBERSHIP IS YOUR BUSINESS, just as much as it is that of the Membership Director/Chair or President, and take responsibility for the growth of your club.Take personal responsibility for sharing Rotary with someone. Take personal responsibility for inviting a co-worker, a neighbor, a friend, to your Club’s meeting, project, or fellowship activity. Take personal responsibility for making your Club’s visitors feel welcomed when they attend your meetings. Take personal responsibility for building your club.The most essential truth concerning the growth of any Rotary Club is that the Club belongs to the Members. If you want to grow your Club’s membership, you simply cannot be like Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. You just can’t. Let us not allow Everybody’s Responsibility to become Nobody’s Responsibility.The bottom line is this: EVERY MEMBER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GROWTH OF THEIR CLUB’S MEMBERSHIP.I'd love to help you grow your club and GROW ROTARY! ...
