The document discusses strategies for increasing membership in Rotary districts D9400, D9370, and D9350. It emphasizes finding leaders to start a movement by connecting people passionate about an inspiring idea. It recommends leveraging social media to mobilize volunteers and form interest-based tribes. Current membership trends show most members are older males, and districts are struggling to retain members and meet growth targets. Innovative approaches are needed to attract new members and reflect local demographics.
Training is an important part of preparing your group for long-term success, but not everyone learns the same way. As the training of district leaders becomes more complex, the district training team needs an overarching vision, structures, and competencies to respond effectively. Join us in this active and fun workshop designed to reflect the increasing diverse demands of the district training committee.
How can district leaders, many of whom serve in their roles for only one year, create and implement a plan for the future that benefits clubs over multiple yeas? This session will present best practices in multiyear planning, based on the experiences of district leaders in Zones 30 and 31, which cover parts of the U.S. South and Midwest.

Beyond the First Click: How today’s volunteers build power for movements and ...MobLab
If movements and organizations invest in and cultivate supporters who are doing substantial and meaningful work, then does their reach, impact and odds of success increase?
That’s the question we set out to explore.
We wanted to look under the hood of organizations doing a great job engaging top-tier supporters and volunteer leaders. These organizations are creating opportunities for supporters and volunteers to make decisions and act on behalf of the organisation.
We sought to uncover insights, patterns and best practices that we could share with our colleagues in the nonprofit sector.
We interviewed 35 organizations and experts in eight countries. Beyond the First Click is a project of Capulet, Change.org and the Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Accept the premise:
“I cannot do this by myself, but if I can find other people to draw them to this movement,
together we can make a difference, get something we all want”
It is not a mass thing.
You don’t need everybody. You need people who care enough who will connect
others to the movement.
Find the true believers.
You only need a few people who care enough to make a difference.

• It takes a It takes a village of leaders…….
STRATEGIC PLAN
• You do not need permission from people to lead them. They are waiting for you to
show them where to go next.
• Leadership practices in leading a MOVEMENT:
–Leaders Challenge the status quo.
–Leaders create a Culture of participation
–Leaders demonstrate Curiosity – care for members. People want to be missed
when they do not show up.
–Leaders have Charisma, but you don’t need charisma to become a leader. Being a
leader gives you charisma. Charisma comes from leading
–Leaders Commit to the cause, the movement and the people who are there.

A tribe is a group of people connected to
one another, connected to a leader, and
connected to an idea that inspires their
passion.
Human beings have a need to belong,
"to be part of a tribe, to contribute to
(and take from) a group of like-minded
people.
We are drawn to leaders and to their
ideas, and we can't resist the rush of
belonging and the thrill of the new".

5. Click to edit Master title styleMethodology: Building Tribes
Tribes can change our world. Not because you force them against their will, but
because they want to connect.
Leverage social media platforms to mobilise volunteers / Rotarians i.e. The
internet makes creation of interest groups possible.
Engage volunteers from their respective areas of competence - vocations.
Find something worth changing and then assemble tribes that spread the idea
where the idea becomes far bigger than ourselves to become a movement.
Collective and Individual Leadership enables to make the difference
Enabling organizations to truly live their social strategic intents and values

• Figures 31 July to date are based on ClubRunner, the District website and
confirmed on RI Website @ 31March,2014
• During July and, in fact up to at least 30 September, there was a
purging/correction of the District Club Runner Website which is now being
used by District 9370. A lot of time and effort was spent in synchronising
the two sites and this exercise is now largely complete, although one or
two anomalies still exist. In essence the info on the district site is the
same or very similar to RI, so for ease of reporting, the stats for the
current year have been drawn from the district site.
• The big dip in numbers from 1 July (2048) to 31 July (2038) was largely
due to clubs carrying members or not deleting members who
resigned prior to the SAR semi-annual report being published.

Innovative ways used to increase membership: During
the DG’s Club addresses, he stated that each person
was there because they were invited to join Rotary –
he extended a challenge to each member to share this
experience. Obstacles to growth: The smaller the
club, the more difficult it is for them to invite new
members. They are aware of this, but are
unfortunately complacent. This has been ongoing for a
number of years in some of these clubs

Transformation successes and failures: Some of the clubs in Namibia reflect

success. However, there are many clubs with a racial mix
