Rotary selects Columbia-Adair Club for major initiative Goal is to increase and diversify membership. Club will meet twice monthly, each second and fourth Mondays, instead of weekly. More flexibility on meeting attendance By George Kolbenschlag News from the Columbia-Adair Rotary Club The Columbia- Adair Rotary Club brought home a prize this week which 1100 other Rotary clubs world-wide sought but did not get. It will allow the club much more flexibility in their agenda and hopefully increase the club's membership and diversity. The club will inaugurate their effort by cutting back from weekly to twice monthly meetings. The Club has been selected by Rotary International to devise and conduct a three year pilot program seeking ways to attract a larger, more diversified membership. Rotary clubs from 1,300 of the 32,000 clubs world-wide applied for selection. The Columbia-Adair Club is one of 200 selected. The goal is to make Rotary a better fit for its specific clubs and the diverse communities in which they operate. The project will continue until July, 2014 allowing clubs to test various approaches to their activities over a three year period. The Columbia-Adair Club has been discussing ways to increase and diversify their membership for the past year, and this opportunity opens the way to step out and test different ways they can make the local Rotary Club more relevant to Columbia and Adair County. "This program has a goal to increase our club membership. The more members we have will help our club do more for the community," says Columbia-Adair Rotary president Jerry Holt. Rotarian Ted Caldwell proposed two changes the Club will try for six months and then evaluate and change them as needed. Caldwell noted that community feedback suggests the frequency of meetings hinders growth, so starting August 8, Rotary will meet the second and fourth Mondays each month instead of their present weekly meetingsThe meeting will be 5:30pm-7pmCT at the Lindsey Wilson College Dining Center, 430 Helen Flatt DR, Columbia, KY. The second initiative will allow members more flexibility on meeting attendance. Members will be given alternatives to make up missed meetings, including working on Rotary service projects, attending meetings with other Rotary clubs and working on individual Rotary sponsored events. In addition to the Innovation and Flexibility Initiative for which Columbia-Adair Rotary was selected, other Rotary clubs world-wide will be looking at pilot programs emphasizing satellite clubs, corporate membership, and associate membership. Participating clubs willl be required to make regular progress reports to Rotary International measuring their successes in things such as membership satisfaction, growth, increased interest in leadership, increased diversity, use of social media to involve members, community support for the club and community involvement.
