  3. North America Membership Trend January 9, 2014 Past International Presidents Meeting Oak Brook, IL USA

  4. Executive Summary • North America has not had a growth year since 1983 • Trend is improving • Net loss shrinking • Improvement driven mostly by better retention • New member invitation has been steady • New club formation has gone down • Average charter size has increased • Small improvements in growth drivers can have a dramatic impact • Slightly more than 10% improvement in extension, invitation and retention can bring North America to breakeven

  5. Strategic Issues • Aging population in many clubs. • Average age of Lions in N. America is 61 vs. 51 in ISAAME, the youngest Area. • Growth of other specialized nonprofits and volunteer outlets continue. There are 1 million charities registered by the IRS in the USA. • People still citing time pressure but leisure time has never been higher. LCI competes with growing ‘screen’ time (TV, computer, phone, etc.) • Club meetings and district conventions may need some re-imaging in this new era. Positives: • Culture of inviting and new club formation taking root. • The need for ‘real’ connections with our communities appear to be growing and may make community service more in vogue again. • Clubs are becoming more in tune with members’ needs.

  11. Roughly 80% of members added join existing clubs 44,496 41,560 41,694

  12. Invitation to existing clubs is steady but can be improved

  13. The Big 12 MDs have a large impact • Big 12 = MDs with more than 10,000 members June 2013 Actual

  14. Small improvements add up • Last year we ended at: • Invite = average # of new members per club at 2.44 • Expand = 120 new clubs with average charter size 33.5 • Retain = Total of 51,768 members dropped What if we improved each of these drivers?
