SLOGAN BUILDS ON ROTARY'S STRENGTH, OUR MEMBERS

Rotary’s new membership slogan, “Each Rotarian: Reach One, Keep One,” emphasizes the need to focus on both recruitment and retention
The RI Board of Directors adopted the new slogan at its June 2009 meeting.
“‘Reach One’ reminds us that because Rotary membership is by invitation, it’s essential that each Rotarian reaches out and invites someone to join. ‘Keep One’ reminds us that it’s not sufficient to simply sponsor someone into Rotary; we must also see that new members become active and involved Rotarians,” says Past RI Director Paul Netzel, a memberof the Rotary Club of Los Angeles, who serves on RI’s Membership Development and Retention Committee.
“Each one of us became a Rotarian because someone invited us to attend a Rotary meeting,” adds William Pollard, past governor of District 7600 (Virginia, USA). “We all have a responsibility to grow our Rotary family so that we can continue to provide service to our local and international communities.”
