Want a Rotary education plan that actually moves the needle? We sit down with past District Governor Marilyn Sanderson to unpack a practical, people-first roadmap for training that grows leaders, keeps members, and lifts club impact across District 5330. From new member orientation that truly onboards to skill-building you can use at your day job, we show how smarter learning becomes a retention engine.
We start with a candid look at why members leave and what changes that story: clarity, connection, and a clear path to contribute. Marilyn shares how we’re blending Good to Great principles with Rotary realities—short timelines, busy volunteers, and big goals—to deliver sessions on running effective meetings, building resilient teams, and turning the Four-Way Test into a real-world decision tool. We highlight youth programs like Interact and Model UN as pipelines for fresh leadership and club vitality, and we spotlight Art for Peace, a creative bridge to schools and families that culminates in district showcases and scholarships.
Accessibility is the backbone of the plan. Every training is recorded and posted to the District 5330 YouTube channel, so officers, committees, and new members can learn on their schedule and share with their clubs. We lean into live Q&A and expert-led deep dives, including a two-part Rotary Foundation series that demystifies how funds flow and how to give strategically. Coming up: sessions on public image, membership growth, and youth services designed to equip clubs with tools that work on Monday morning and look great in a grant report.
If you care about member retention, club culture, and visible community impact, this conversation is a playbook. Subscribe, share with your board, and leave a review telling us the one training topic your club needs next.
