We had an insightful topic "RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT OF MEMBERS IN ROTARY" by Rtn Dickens Murorwa - the Past President of Kampala City. Rotarian Dickens gave the best strategies of retaining members in the club and elaborated on how to attract new people to join.
He said it is not a role of a President or  Membership Director to bring in new members or retain members like it is done in other clubs. For a successful club, RECRUITMENT and RETENTION is every one's role to play.
THE KEY TO RETAIN
1. Satisfaction. Different people are joining with different reasons, make sure that each one is satisfied.
2. Change. It is never possible that same people need same things each year. Forexample If this time u traveling​ to kalangala, next time travel Mountain Rwenzori.
3.Reliability. Be a reliable club, keep time in every thing you do and avoid disappointments.
4. Excellence and mantaining the standard of what you always give.
5. Rewarding members who perform well in different departments.
6. We need to listen to our members( feedback) and always avoid excuses and justifying.
7. Make sure our members  feel the care. We can bring many new members as we can but the moment we fail to care about them, they will also go.
8. Help members to get opportunities because some of them are struggling to look for personal networks. Help them.
9. How many times have you visited the lost members and find out why they are lost??? Visit them and know why that person is lost.
 
RECRUITMENT
1. Ensure Quality at the gate.
2. Make sure all new members come to stay by touching their expectations of joining.
3. It is also better to stay small and quality  to attract new members to join the club. If it's quality People will fight to jump in because quality is visible and liked by everyone.
