It has now been 30 years since women were first admitted to Rotary and people are still asking if it is a good idea. Only 10% of Rotarians are women as many clubs actively and indirectly bar women either by not inviting them to join or by continuing the tradition of never asking anyone to join. Go to any district meeting and it is still 90%+ male. A female friend of mine said that in order for a woman to be considered half as good as a man she needs to be twice as good. Fortunately that is not too difficult. Men have had that same length of time to fix Rotaries recruitment issues and failed spectacularly. The way to fix this problem is to actively recruit and only actively recruit women directly into Rotary and to phase out inner wheel which is a barrier to Rotaries female growth.

]]> Comment on 100 Ways to Recruit New Members by litesp33d http://greatideastoshare.com/2011/10/11/100-ways-to-recruit-new-members/#comment-102 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:54:49 +0000 http://greatideastoshare.com/?p=484#comment-102 It must have taken you an age to come up with these 100 ways. However I think we only need one and that is one that works. Which of these 100 ideas have been effective?

Research shows the following – 90% of people who join Rotary do so because a friend invited them to do so. 90% of Rotarians have never invited anyone to come to a meeting, let alone join. Build that bridge to fix that problem and Rotary’s recruitment problems are over.

]]> Comment on Changemaker Award to recognize clubs that make an impact by Kevin Hilgers http://greatideastoshare.com/2011/01/22/changemaker-award-to-recognize-clubs-that-make-an-impact/#comment-74 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:01:46 +0000 http://greatideastoshare.com/?p=438#comment-74 Thanks for the note. I am DGE for 5370 in Western Canada. I ave been a firm believer in treating Rotaract Clubs just like Rotary Clubs – so when someone says “Does this apply to Rotaract Clubs as well?” I say “Lets!” Speak with your District. I think RI and your District would be thrilled to have a Rotaract Club say “We want to do this too!”

Please shed some light on this.
