D9520 Young Professionals Forum - Attracting Young Professionals Part 1
This document summarizes the challenges facing Rotary in attracting young professionals. It identifies 6 major challenges: 1) Change is difficult to implement as current members are comfortable; 2) Rotary is seen as a symbol of obsolescence in developed nations where societal progress has occurred; 3) Rotary has an old mindset that does not appeal to new generations; 4) Meetings can no longer be the central focus of Rotary; 5) The message must focus on benefits like networking, leadership and fun rather than solely service projects; 6) True vocational diversity is needed beyond traditional professions.
