Membership growth encouraged, rewarded 
By Maureen Vaught 

The 2008-09 New Member Sponsor Pin is available through licensed 
Rotary vendors as a way to recognize club members who sponsor new 
members. 

"You can feel the excitement and energy in a growing Rotary club," 
says Michael McGovern, vice chair of the 2008-09 RI Membership 
Development and Retention Committee. 

To help energize clubs worldwide, RI President Dong Kurn Lee is 
traveling the globe to generate ideas for membership growth. His 
first of 12 presidential conferences , which will include small-group 
discussions to identify best practices for member recruitment and 
retention, took place 7 July in Tokyo. 

Conferences in Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, and South Africa will also 
address child mortality, a top concern that lies at the heart of this 
year's RI theme, Make Dreams Real . 

To encourage clubs and districts to take action to increase 
membership, Lee has developed a new membership recognition program. 
During 2008-09, clubs that achieve a 10 percent net increase in 
membership will receive a certificate signed by the president. At the 
district level, gaining two new clubs and a 10 percent net membership 
increase must be reached. District recognition awards vary depending 
on the percentage of clubs achieving the membership increase. See 
details of the membership recognition program. 

The 10 clubs and districts with the highest percentage net membership 
increase will be recognized on stage at the 2009 RI Convention in 
Birmingham, England. To ensure recognition, clubs should update 
membership information via Member Access by 15 May. RI membership 
database numbers will be used to determine achievement. 

"The goals can be achieved by any club or district that makes 
membership development a priority," McGovern says.
