The membership committee is focused on  making the process more welcoming for new member prospects.  We’ve added the pre-proposal one-on-one conversation with a committee member so that we will be better acquainted with the person we are voting on and, more importantly, so that Rotary will be less mysterious to the prospect.  After approval, the new member is assigned a mentor and goes through the menu of service opportunities process.
 
All this is designed to get our new members off to a fulfilling start. We’ll know that we have succeeded hear them say “we” when they are talking but Rotary instead of “they.”  It takes a little longer, but it seems to be working based on our early efforts. 
 
Proposal forms are found on the website home page.  Just click “Join Rotary” and then the “prospective member proposal form” link on the left side.
 
Speaking of new members, if you think you would like to join the membership committee, I’d love to hear from you at sshechter@dawsoncompanies.com .  It’s fun.
