Session Title: From Challenge to Creation: How You Can Lead the Membership Turnaround
Fact: Rotary membership is declining—not because people have lost interest in service, but because we haven’t given them enough choices when joining or options before they leave.
In this hands-on interactive session designed specifically for Rotary’s senior leaders, you’ll learn how the new North American Club Creation Team (NACCT) is changing the game by offering a structured, supported, and scalable process to start any kind of club—from a Stand alone Rotary Club to a Companion and Cause-Based to Rotaract, Satellite, and beyond.
You won’t just learn the system—you’ll experience it. And then you will be able to share it! Through a guided mock “Step Session,” you’ll walk through the stepped process that’s helping clubs and districts across North America grow again—and leave ready to take action in your own district. All of the mystery of new club development is revealed.
Whether your district needs a new model to boost retention, engage new demographics, or revitalize stagnant areas, this session will show you how to turn intention into action.
