We are here today..
When we identify potential members, what will we offer during the course of our conversations? What might we share to “engage” them?
![Page 13: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Embracing Diversity and the “R” word:
RETENTION:
(supporting & encouraging new members)

Recruiting
• Achieve positive growth and achieve a Diverse Workforce within our membership
• Growth has flat – lined: Average age of active members = 58…?
• Male Dominated, practically no diversity (look around)
• Create a better balance with: - people of all cultures - better age balance
• Create a more positive, “Diverse Workforce!”
• Our current balance can only be improved!
Why are we embarking upon an aggressive and pro-active Diversity Recruiting Mission?
![Page 16: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What additional factors motivate this effort:
• Desire for a planned approach to filling our own organizational needs (all levels)
• Desire to have the ability to “look ahead” (3-5-10 years) at end-state goals (in support of the Goldside) & work back to achieve them
• Stimulate Positive Growth
• Most importantly: achieve a “Diverse Workforce," blended #’s!

Flotilla Leadership
Question: how would your goals be impacted if you
were to add 6 new members to
each Flotilla, annually,by 2013?
Recruiting
![Page 18: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
GROWTH! Just Imagine…
If each Flotilla grew by 6 a year?*
Is this possible?
D9 =136 Flotillas = 3339 members
1st year = add 816 = 4155 Total
2nd year = “ “ = 4971 Total
3rd year = imagine the possibilities?
REDUCE TO THE RIDICULOUS:
* on a flotilla level = 1 member every 2 months!
(Michael Jordan story…..4 X 8 rule!)
![Page 19: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
GROWTH! Just Imagine…
Lansing Flotilla Doubled Its Volunteer members in 2011 to 29 Currently: 33 Volunteers strong!
* with 5 Diversity Volunteers
2 new members in process both are Diversity
![Page 20: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Past Recruiting Methods
Past Commodores & FC’s:
• “…we reacted when someone showed an interest…”
• “…Occasionally we knew someone...”
• “…Invited to attend our meetings…” (that will scare ‘em away! ….speaking for our Flotilla!)
![Page 24: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

How ‘bout them apples?

3rd Question:
What are the changes that are affecting recruiting for your Flotilla?
“ Attitude Change # 1:
Today’s People are Isolationists:
From previously, committed, long-term, loyal members to non-committed, feel-good , loosely-connected individuals. (The Corporation for National & Community
Service Annual "Volunteering in America" Jan. 2010 )

Today’s Recruiting Tactics cont.
What are the changes that are affecting recruitingfor your Flotilla?
“ Attitude Change # 2:
Technology induced: From Face-to-Face to micro-volunteerism, crowd sourcing & “friendship via internet.” (The Corporation for National & Community Service Annual "Volunteering in America" Jan. 2010 )
![Page 46: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Why do Volunteers quit?
• They are not invited to volunteer: Personal invitations to serve are more appealing to prospective volunteers
• Volunteering takes up too much time• Do we “suck the time” out of them?• Organizations try to make a square peg fit in
a round hole: Skills-based volunteering can bring in new volunteers.

“WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?”
![Page 73: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Motivation cont.
When we call and/or eventually meet we must answer these 3 questions:
(bottom pg 11)
1. What we do: We perform missions, etc…..
2. We have new members of 1-2 months, veterans of 10 years, great coaches to mentor you and
3. You too will impact many individual’s lives and possibly save many, as we promote boating & water safety and more.

Using the “Echo” to listen:
• How to respond to a “No”
• Listen using the 80/20 rule - Framing
• The “I” word
• The “echo” method of listening
![Page 79: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Using the “Echo” to listen: cont.
Me: Jeff , we are looking for volunteers to help us in an event. You have an interest in boating and water safety, and you have some skills that we could use. I think that you could really help us plan our monthly education meetings.
Jeff: Oh man… I could never do that. Do I have to be on a committee?....I hate those…
![Page 80: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Using the “Echo” to listen: cont.
• Me: Have you had a bad experience on a committee?
• Jeff: Yes, I once was on a Rotary committee. I hated it. We met every week for two months. The meetings were unorganized. The leader (and I use that term loosely) didn’t know how to lead a meeting.
• Me: In our Flotilla, we don’t believe in committees either. We
put together TEAMS of movers and shakers who are able to plan the event in one meeting where we define the mission, the budget and schedule. Then we empower you to get it done. The Flotilla team leader meets with you to see how to help fulfill your team role. I think you would be perfect for this team as a shaker and mover.
• Jeff: Sounds like my kind of team. Remember: develop your future leaders by treating them as a leader!

A bit about RETENTIONcontinued….
• Written evaluations: 1 on1 reviews
• Hand written notes* expressing gratitude, etc.
• Offer flexibility w/scheduling & opportunities• A good meeting is a short meeting• Monthly meeting (Training focused vs. FSO reports)• Focus on communication: immediate, timely• Let then know they are making a difference• Immediate feedback is critical – timely!• Do your leaders know how to lead?..
* Receiving a real handwritten thank you note is rare!
![Page 83: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
A bit about RETENTIONcontinued….
Why people quit
The TOP seven reasons volunteers quit :
• No flexibility in volunteer opportunities or scheduling
• Too much wasted time in useless or unproductive meetings
• Lack of communication
• Lack of professionalism
• The feeling that the volunteer is not really making a difference
• No feedback from leadership about how the volunteer is doing
• The volunteer leader who doesn’t know how to lead
![Page 84: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
A bit about RETENTIONcontinued….
• Communicate expectations– State the expectation– State the reason (why do we do i t this
way)– Tel l the story
• Train• Hold Accountable• Give Feedback• Empower• Send thank notes…..real mail is
rare!
![Page 85: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
A bit about RETENTIONcontinued….
• Feedback Credo:
Without feedback, we do not know
where we stand!... …….and I hate that!
![Page 86: 2012 recruitment program power point presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060206/55a22f4d1a28ab7d428b46ff/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
