| New club membership secretary Janet Perry is planning a pro-active approach to recruiting new members - but also to ensuring they get the most out of being a Rotarian. Janet, who was appointed this week, is looking forward to concentrating her efforts on her new role. She said: “The thing I am really interested in is driving membership. I wanted a job with a very clear focus.” She wants to use every opportunity to attract new members, such as having a recruitment stand at club events and encouraging existing members to spread the word about Rotary among friends and family. |  |
“We need to get members to look at all the benefits that membership has brought them and not be shy in spreading the word about the opportunities Rotary brings and encouraging new people to join,” she said
She also plans to improve the induction process to help new members settle in quickly and find their way around the club.
Janet, who had a 17-year career in banking before moving into business management in education, knows how the skills new members have developed in industry can contribute to Rotary.
“We want new members to join successfully,” she said. “We want them to get the most out of being a member and to be able to use their skills to the best effect, such as by joining the right committee or project where they can really make a difference.”
Club president Mary Spinks said: “I am sure members will join me in welcoming Janet to this role and wish her well. She will be an excellent and inspiring membership secretary.”
