Membership

Committee Team Leader: John Pearce

The principle aim of the Falmouth Membership Committee is to discuss the Rotary Club’s future membership needs, taking into consideration the club’s aims and objectives in relation to its community commitments and additional projects that the club may create. The committee also encourages existing Rotary Club members to seek and introduce new prospective members. The committee aims to ensure, through meetings, that a synergy can be established to maximise prospective member’s expectations together with their aims and objections and those of the club.

Dec 2024 -  New way forward with CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP

Rotary is encouraging a wider range of membership profiles. Tony Williams, Rotary AG, shared his thoughts on Rotary’s corporate membership initiative -  the North Star project. The key to success is to treat corporate members very differently to standard members. Corporate members need not attend regular meetings, fees can be waivered or increased as appropriate. Corporate members can be called upon to provide help for projects whether it be services such as printing, providing materials or volunteering. Most companies have a Corporate Social Response commitment and are eager to sign up to this by encouraging employees to participate. Rotary can work with corporates to fulfil this CSR commitment. Newton Abbott Rotary Club have been successful with this and have added 23 corporate members to their club.
