RC Makati Hosts D3830 Cluster Membership Workshop
As one of the largest clubs in District 3830, RC Makati continues to share not only its clubhouse facilities but also its membership best practices to help fellow Rotary clubs strengthen their membership and sustain growth.
On October 10, RC Makati hosted the second edition of the District Membership Committee’s “Strength in Numbers” Cluster Membership Workshop, bringing together High Impact Presidents, club officers, and members from the Makati-Taguig-Pateros cluster.
Unlike traditional seminars, the workshop focused on practical solutions to membership challenges identified by club presidents, emphasizing not just attracting new members but creating a meaningful Rotary experience that encourages members to stay, participate, and invite others.
DG Jaz Limon opened the discussions with an inspiring message on developing a Sustainable Growth Mindset, while IPDG Reggie Nolido served as Lead Facilitator and moderated two panel discussions on membership attraction, engagement, and retention.
The Member Attraction panel featured successful strategies from RC Makati North’s E-Satellite Club, RC Parañaque East’s sustainable membership growth, RC Parañaque-Sucat’s recruitment through business networks, and RC Forbes Park’s Angel Mentoring Program for younger members.
Meanwhile, Pres. Chris Ferareza joined the Member Engagement and Retention panel, sharing how the 61-year-old RC Makati successfully brings together younger and seasoned Rotarians while providing leadership opportunities for its younger members.
He was joined by Assistant Regional Membership Coordinator PP Joan Policarpio of RC San Francisco Del Monte, who emphasized the importance of making members feel that they belong, matter, enjoy, and care, reinforcing the message that “Retention is the New Recruitment.”
Interactive breakout sessions also allowed participants to exchange experiences, identify membership challenges, and develop action plans tailored to their respective clubs.
The workshop was chaired by PP Irma Tan, with support from the District Membership Committee led by PP Raissa Hechanova-Posadas and its team of facilitators and volunteers.
A similar workshop was held the previous month for clubs in Parañaque and Muntinlupa, where Dir. CB Rivilla represented RC Makati and shared the Club’s membership strategies and best practices.
Through initiatives such as Strength in Numbers, RC Makati continues to demonstrate that Rotary’s growth is not simply measured by membership figures, but by building stronger, more engaged clubs where members find purpose, fellowship, and opportunities to serve.
