A new way to connect prospective members with clubs
Rotary’s new system for managing prospective members is now live. In the new system, prospective members complete an interest form and choose a club to connect with. Club leaders will receive a notification when someone chooses their club, prompting them to review the membership inquiry. If the club's expectations don't align with the candidate's, they can reassign the inquiry to district leaders.
Club and district leaders can learn more about their roles and how the new system works in these resources:

New system for managing prospective members
In Rotary’s newly implemented prospective member management system, people who want to join Rotary complete an interest form and select a club they want to connect with. Designated club leaders will receive a notification whenever someone expresses interest in their club, allowing them to review the membership inquiry. If the club is unable to accommodate the prospective member, it can reassign the inquiry to designated leaders at the district level.
Designated district leaders will be notified when clubs reassign inquiries or fail to act on them. A district leader can decide whether to assign the inquiry to a different club, close it, or reassign it to RI staff for assistance.
Explore these comprehensive guides tailored for clubs and districts to help you understand how to use the new system, such as how to act on membership inquiries, adjust your email notification settings, or opt your club out of receiving inquiries.
