Membership and PR/BMC Coordinators Training

This “residential” part of the Membership training aims to translate key concepts from earlier sessions into real-world application. The focus is on equipping districts with capable growth coordinators, strengthening clubs and divisions, and fostering awareness of both current challenges and untapped potential. It also serves as a platform to anchor and pass on growth strategies from KI, KE, and KI-E to the grassroots level.

• Rejuvenation & understanding needs of members, and finding out what potential new (/younger) members want and need;
• Developing actions for build-nurture-retain:
  1. Action plan for necessary changes to support rejuvenation;
  2. Organize a meetup;
  3. Plan the “2for2” initiative;
  4. Action plan for admission procedures and removing other obstacles;
  5. To-do list for fostering teamwork across boundaries.

This “residential” part of the PR/BMC training aims at putting into practice the theory presented during the webinar on 8 September, concentrating efforts in gaining Kiwanis brand awareness through the use of correct corporate branding:

• Practise to become the “influencer” towards clubs;
• Practise that “perception is reality” and provide tools and tips for forging a good image and reputation;
• Practise the do’s and don’ts, risks and chances you have on (social) media;
• Discuss and share solutions about the difference between who we are, what we do and who we say we are and do; how we think people see us… and how people really perceive us. Assess and seek solutions to inappropriate ways of presenting Kiwanis;
• Get comfortable with counselling and speak up when seeing that someone or something is being communicated in an inappropriate manner.
