 Monday
Morning Growth Team Messages
by
Jack White
6/1/09 -- "Club / Meet Less Do More" with Jack White. Kiwanis International CEO Rob Parker said this a few weeks ago in one of
his Monday Morning Messages. Moderator Jack White this week uses it as
the theme for his first message of a four-part series on how clubs must
change to attract the younger members they want and need.
6/8/09 -- "Things I Have Learned" with Jerry Peuler.
6/15/09 -- "A Book That Helps Keep Members" with Dr. John Yegge. Click on the link for Part A and, when it is finished, click on this link for Part B. You will learn about an excellent tool to help your club keep its members. Besides being in two parts, this interview is a few minutes longer than most — but definitely is worth your time.
6/22/09 -- "Watch Dover Grow" with Allan Kujala and Ken Hogan. The Dover Kiwanis Club has had spectacular growth, and they are at it again. The numbers are not all that will impress you, but how they do it. If you want your club to grow, listen to this revealing interview.
6/29/09 -- "Meet Your Members' Needs" with Linda Christiano. We met Linda in Nashville at the Kiwanis International Convention. To say she is dynamic, is an understatement. In this special MMM interview, Linda discusses some of her Ideas for keeping our clubs' BACK DOORS CLOSED. I especially liked her suggestion for obtaining a new member profile — and plan to start doing this in my own club.
