ZOOM Latest News
As we are all using Zoom for Club meetings or social meetings, this messge from Zoom affects all of us.
"Beginning November 1, 2021, customers will be required to update their Zoom software to ensure it is no more than nine months behind the current version, at any given time. From that point on, users will be prompted to update their software when using the platform should their version fall behind this nine-month window. For example, if on November 1st the latest version of the Zoom Client was released in September 2021, customers who try to access Zoom services with a version prior to January 2021 will be prompted to update to a more recent version in order to access the platform. This change is in line with industry practices and designed to help ensure that Zoom users receive the latest Zoom features, as well as any privacy and security enhancements we make to the platform. To prepare for the new schedule, we recommend customers update to the latest release supported by their organization or at minimum software version 5.5.0, prior to November 1st. Starting in September, we will introduce a prompted update to help customers update to the latest version of the Zoom client. If you have prompted updates turned off for your organization, you will not see the prompt."

How the club experience shapes the Rotary membership experience 
Rotary conducts annual surveys to gauge member satisfaction, find opportunities to improve program participants’ experience, and monitor trends in membership. A recent analysis of the results gathered by surveys from 2019 to 2021* revealed that a good and fulfilling club experience is necessary for members and is a key factor in their decision to continue their membership.

What makes for a good club experience? Rotarians and Rotaractors were asked what they liked and disliked about their club meetings. The five most prominent factors that they liked are: 
  • Friendship and personal interaction 
  • Getting involved in the local community 
  • Learning new things from guest speakers and discussing interesting topics 
  • Well-structured meetings that start and end on time 
  • Leaders who listen to and engage members
If you want to learn more about membership patterns, the newly updated State of Rotary Membership presentation shows how Rotary is doing as of 1 July 2021. The 16-slide PowerPoint presentation can be shared and is easy to customize to meet your region’s needs. You can also watch a recording of The State of Membership webinar. The webinar examines current trends in Rotary’s membership, discusses ways to elevate Rotaract as an equal partner in service, and emphasizes the importance of inclusivity.

*The data for this analysis was taken from five sources: the 2019 Member and Participant Experience Feedback Survey, the 2020 All-Member Survey, the 2021 DEI Survey, the 2021 Leadership Survey, and the BI Membership Universe.
