International President’s Retention Campaign
Clubs are rewarded for their success with the President’s Retention Campaign Banner Patch. Your club can earn the patch in two ways:
- Reverse membership losses. Clubs of any size that had a net membership loss for the previous two years, but attains a “zero” net loss or better in the current Lions year ending June 30 also receive a banner patch.
- Demonstrate a net gain in membership during the Lions year. Criteria for the award is based on the size of the club as of July 1 as follows:
- 21 or fewer members: 2 or more increase in net membership
- 22-40 members: 4 or more increase in net membership
- 41 or more members: 6 or more increase in net membership
Retaining existing Lions is vital to the success of any club. The more members you retain, the more service you are able to complete. In general, members are retained because they are satisfied with some aspect of being involved, whether that be their participation or the validation they feel after a job well done.
As of part of your club’s retention plan, we encourage you to survey your members and to take action to prevent loss of members.
