每一個扶輪社都需要新的社員。新社員會帶來新創意、新影響與增加活力並有可能成為未來的領導人。每一位新社員皆會提高扶輪社的服務能力並確保國際扶輪的未來。鼓勵地區內每一個扶輪社積極吸收合格的新社員，以建立一種廣泛代表其區域內之實業和專業人士。

Every Rotary club needs new members. They bring fresh ideas, new interests, and increased energy and provide for future leadership. Each new member increases the club’s capacity for service and ensures the future of Rotary International. Encourage each club in the district to actively recruit qualified new members, establishing a broad representation of the businesses and professions in its area.

總監的責任就是協助扶輪社的社員發展行動計劃，以施行適當及有效吸收社員的策略。一個成功吸收社員的策略牽涉到公共關係、令人引起興趣的會議和扶輪社全面性的行事效率。鼓勵扶輪社吸收新社員時請考慮以下幾點：

As governor, you should help the clubs incorporate appropriate and effective recruitment strategies in their membership development action plans. A successful recruitment strategy involves public relations, interesting meetings, and overall club effectiveness. Consider the following as you encourage clubs to recruit new members:

• 鼓勵所有的扶輪社準備一份扶輪社的實況報告表單及準社員資料袋送給非扶輪社員的訪客。同時亦請提供一份當作指南使用的地區簡介。有關如何準備實況報告的資料, 請參考第六章第70頁。

• 在公式訪問時發表的演說中強調社員成長的重要性。

•  在公式訪問時檢討該扶輪社的行動計劃與其達到其社員目標的進度。

•  鼓勵扶輪社實施一種職業分類調查—以評估他們社區內實業及專業人士的興趣為何。

•  分析地區內的實業及專業的趨勢並與現有的社員趨勢做比較。並分享此項訊息給地區內的扶輪社。 

•  Encourage every club to develop a club fact sheet and prospective member packet to give to non-Rotarian visitors. Provide a district profile to serve as a guide. For more information on developing a fact sheet, see chapter 6, pg. 70.

•  Emphasize membership growth during your official visit by including it in the governor’s address.

•  Review the club action plan and progress toward its membership goal during your official visit.

•  Encourage clubs to conduct a classification survey — assessing business and professional interests within their communities.

•  Analyze business and professional trends within the district as compared to current membership trends. Share this information with clubs in your district.
