\"delegates<\/a>Membership Officers from nine of South Lancashire\u2019s Soroptimist clubs attended a workshop on the theme of \u2018recruitment and retention\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Regional training events are always popular \u2013\u00a0ideal opportunities for targeted discussion, for updates and for the sharing of good practice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Margaret Davies, the Region\u2019s Membership Officer, organised the event. One topic was the \u2018time for reflection\u2019 session which, ideally,\u00a0should be included in each club\u2019s annual programme. It enables each member to feel actively involved in her club\u2019s development. Officers might wish to pave the way for the session by issuing a short questionnaire, which can be anonymous \u2013 to encourage members to be honest! Responses can be quite illuminating, and certainly would fuel discussion at the main session.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working in groups the officers looked at a variety of other topics including retention of members (making\u00a0them feel valued and supported); the cost of meetings (and how to help members manage their financial commitments to their club); and strategies to prevent new members feeling isolated (mentoring, listening skills, \u2018job\u2019 talks, etc).<\/span><\/p>\n

Margaret said, \u201cThe evaluation sheets indicated that officers found the workshop helpful and stimulating \u2013 and they certainly enjoyed the opportunity to get together with members from other clubs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI must thank Liz McConnell (Regional President) and my colleagues on the Regional Executive Committee who came to support the event. They enjoyed the networking, too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
