KofC RetentionOrg. Mtg. 2009
How Did we do Last year?
We Suspended 275 Brothers
Why do we lose members ?
Based on actual input from members dropped this year.
Lack of Interest 45%
Personal Conflicts 5%
Relocation (lost) 45%
Other reasons 5%
Why are we losing Members when they relocate?
We are not keeping track of our members
Operation Rescue
Call them quarterly
We are not informing them what to do when they relocate.
No Plan formulated
No Standard Form
Retention Committee
Not motivated
Not trained to find them
No Formal process for handling relocation
Does not have all the data needed
Council Record Keeping can be Improved
Need wife’s name
Need E-mail Address
Emergency Contact other than Direct Family
What are we going to do?
Standardize the process
Create and issue a standard report form
Formal Training at the Organizational Meeting in July and the Midyear meetings in January
Put the process and Form on the Web Site
How do we find a lost Brother?
Ask his Brother Knights
Ask Your Insurance Agent
Send Him an E-mail- (Most don’t change it)
Ask the Parish Secretary
Ask the Post Office Did he leave a forwarding Address? Yes - Send a letter
Ask at his old place of work
Ask his neighbors
Ask his relatives( Emergency Contact)
THEN
Once Found
Fill out the Relocation Form
All you need is City and State to Google Him
I use whitepages.com but there are others.
If he is still local
Work the process
If he is still in State
Use the KofC State Directory and send Name, Member#, Address, Phone number to The GK of the Council at his new location. Ask him to make contact?
Located In State Cont,
If you can’t locate the correct council
Send the Relocation Form to;
Bob Hack hackbob 42@ atmc.net
373 broadleaf Lane SE Bolivia NC 28422Located Out of State
Send the Relo Form to Bob Hack as he has the contacts for all the other States and Countries
The Idea is the get a Transfer not a Suspension
Goals;
Membership relocation awareness
Stop losing Members when they relocate.
Reduce the number of brothers terminated because they are lost.
Saving one is better than recruiting one
