ご家族や友人、同僚をキワニスの一員として迎え入れられたことでしょう。しかし、キワニスクラブ 世界中の子供たちのために奉仕する新たな会員を常にキワニスクラブ ！ここでは、身近な人たちの輪を超えて、クラブの会員募集活動を活性化させるための5つのアイデアをご紹介します。
1. Partner organizations. Think about companies and organizations that believe in your club’s mission and support you throughout the year. Get in touch with their leaders and ask if they would be interested in taking your partnership to the next level by sponsoring a corporate membership in your club — or if they would be interested in joining themselves.
2. Diverse groups and businesses. It’s important to seek a diverse membership, so you get a wide range of service ideas that enrich your club’s impact. Research various business groups and nonprofits — including minority-owned businesses and organizations — that represent the demographics of your community. Seek opportunities to speak during one of their membership or board meetings to promote your club’s contributions to the community. Invite representatives from these groups to speak during one of your upcoming club meetings as well. You can find resources for diversity, equity and inclusion in our club toolbox.
3. New businesses and nonprofits. Scan the local business news and think about inviting owners of recently opened businesses and new nonprofit executives to attend a club meeting. Allow them to make a two-minute plug for their business — and make sure you provide them with Kiwanis membership information.
4. Retired teachers. Invite local teachers who have recently retired to a Kiwanis meeting or service project. These individuals have spent their lives working with kids and might be looking for a new way to continue mentoring young people.
5. Former members. Sometimes Kiwanians leave clubs when they are not fully engaged in activities, when life circumstances do not allow time for Kiwanis — or simply when no one attempts to reinvolve them. However, circumstances can change over time. You can “reMember” people by inviting them to attend a meeting or event, and to follow up with any concerns they might have about the club. Remind them that kids still need Kiwanis in your community and ask them to rejoin.
