Chapter 2 in Membership in Service Clubs: Rotary’s Experience, 2014, pp 7-18 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers the membership challenge faced by service clubs. These clubs have a long and illustrious history, but their membership has been declining in the past few decades in North America. In order to understand the challenges faced by clubs, after a brief history of their development, the chapter assesses the extent of this decline (which is milder than often assumed) and the reasons that could explain it. In doing so, the chapter sets the stage for the more detailed analysis provided in subsequent chapters.
