Referrals and Relocations

One of the three strategic priorities of Rotary’s Strategic Plan seeks to support and strengthen clubs, which includes the goal of improving recruitment and retention of qualified, enthusiastic members. Your club and your district are partners in membership development and RI supports your membership growth and retention efforts through its online membership program. Introduced in 2001, the program helps clubs and districts identify prospective members, connect returning members with former or new clubs, and connect relocating Rotarians with clubs in their new area.

This can be done through;

  • Friends or business associates
  • Engaging guest speakers who are unable to join your club
  • RI or Rotary Foundation program alumni who would contribute their expertise and experience to a local Rotary club but who live outside of your town, district, or country
  • Relocating Rotarians who haven’t established contact with another club
  • Family members living outside your club area who are familiar with Rotary’s Service Above Self ideal
