Connect with future members
Each month, thousands of people express their interest in joining Rotary by going to rotary.org/join. When you follow up with these potential members, you show that you value their interest in Rotary.

District and club leaders, remember — your future members are eager to connect with you. Visit the Manage Membership Leads page for your club or district regularly to manage your list of candidates and help move them toward membership. You can add additional candidates directly to the list to keep track of all your prospects in one place. 

Find best practices and detailed instructions in the club guide or district guide to managing membership leads.
 
 
2022-23 Rotary Citation due date
All activities for the 2022-23 Rotary Citation for Rotary Clubs need to be completed and reported to Rotary by 30 June. Club leaders have access to an FAQ, the goals to select from, and instructions. Write to us at riawards@rotary.org if you have questions. 
Reminder about adding new members
As club leaders prepare to complete their terms, remember that members added on or before 30 June will count toward the current Rotary year, 2022-23. Members added with an effective date of 1 July will count toward the new Rotary year, 2023-24. Write to us at membershipdevelopment@rotary.org if you have questions.
