Top 5 Ways to Create a Quality Club

Every new and prospective member’s initial interaction with a club should be a
positive one. Here are the top five ways to create a quality club:
#1 – Make a Strong First Impression
First impressions are important to club success because positive experiences
and observations by guests determine whether they will return and become
members. Each guest should be greeted at the door, introduced to officers
and members and be given a Guest Packet.
#2 – Assign Mentors to New Members
Strong mentoring provides clubs with a vital boost. A positive mentoring
relationship offers great benefits for the new member as well as for the club as
a whole. The Mentor Program Kit (Club) has materials to help clubs start a
mentoring program.
#3 – Keep Meetings Well Planned and Organized
Everyone wins when meetings are organized and skillfully conducted. Club
officers show respect for members’ time when meetings start and end on
schedule. Ensure that members know their responsibilities and are prepared
to follow through with their assigned roles.
#4 – Grow Your Club!
When the club has enough members to provide leadership and fill meeting
and committee assignments, this creates a lively, active club that benefits
existing members and draws new members in. Use theMembership Building
Kit, which includes guest information cards and badges, and informative
brochures and fliers.
#5 – Celebrate Accomplishments
Motivate members to stay active by monitoring their progress toward goals,
submitting completed award applications immediately and
consistently recognizing member achievement.
