MEMBERSHIP AND THE PRESIDENT A CONFERENCE IN PICTURES
LEVEL TO ADDRESS THE MEMBERSHIP CHALLENGE FACING OUR ORGANIZATION.

Fresh thinking has led to clubs being much more proactive their membership drive and has made it their number one priority for this Rotary year. Membership events are being held up and down the country with assistance from the district team who are here to help.
