Frequently Asked Questions About Expansion (New Clubs)

The District Membership Committee would like to clarify a number of misconceptions regarding sponsoring new Clubs. Expansion success is at the center of Rotary’s growth for the sake of all humankind. If our mission is worthwhile then it is equally worthwhile to invite others to join us.

These are some of the questions we hear. Answers are posted at FAQ.

1) Why should we start new clubs?

2) Will a new club take away members from an existing one?

3) Some clubs struggle to get new members. Will chartering a club be easier?

4) How significant is the problem?

5) Why can’t you help recruit members to our existing club?

6) Do we have a target age for charter members?

7) Isn’t it difficult to charter new clubs in these economic times?

8) Are there any new ideas for new clubs?

9) How do we go about finding charter members?

10) Is there any benefit to sponsor a new club?

11) What help can the district provide?

We hope these questions and answers will help you initiate a dialog in your club. We would appreciate hearing from you with suggestions, ideas, or more questions.
