Strengthening resources

Our focus on membership is important — but the loss of membership is generally a symptom of other problems that must be addressed first. The strengthening process begins with repairing the club, helping it become the kind of entity that can expect to bring in more new members. These resources can help your club develop an active and engaged membership, strong and capable leadership, impactful service to the community, visibility in the community and strong finances.
