Sponsoring a Member

You can help new members get involved in Rotary in a number of ways, according to what is appropriate in your club. Following is a checklist of suggestions for ways you can help new members.

• Introduce the new member to the club officers.

• Explain the committee structure.

• Offer to accompany the new member to his or her first board meeting, make-up at another club, and district conference.

• Provide a good knowledge of Rotary both at the international and club level.
• Explain attendance requirements.

• Provide assistance with the new member's "classification" talk.

• Make a plan to keep the new member interested and active in the club and maintain contact with him or her.
