Revitalize & Rethink:
What are the top five reasons people leave their Rotary club?
– Personality Conflict– Conflict with Club leadership– Feeling unwanted; neglected; disengaged– Personal/vocational priorities– Club resists change/innovation
“Trying to resist change is like holding your breath. Even if you are successful, it doesn’t end well.”
-Michael McQueen

Rotary has been changing from the very beginning…
• Classification Principle– We all bring something to the table
• Attendance rules – COL decisions– Is it still valid?– Do we scare off potential members?
“If Rotary is to realize its proper destiny it must be evolutionary at all times, revolutionary on occasions” – Paul Harris
