Question:
Isn't this program just like collecting names out of the phone
book?
Answer: NO! The names put forward by members, have to be
people that the member knows, and thinks would make a good
Rotarian. By using your business card holder, it will 'prompt'
you as to people that you meet and know. Also, using your card
holder helps the committee with all details such as phone
numbers and addresses, etc.
Question:
How many names can members submit?
Answer: As many as you like. The average member will
easily think of 5 - 7 names (3 instantaneously). But it is not
uncommon for members to submit 25 names.
Question:
Why didn't these people submit all these names as prospective
members before?
Answer: Maybe in the past, a member was too embarrassed to
ask some one to come along to Rotary in case they rejected
them. Or maybe, there is a gender problem with a female asking
a male? Where-as this way via CIC, the members can simply
submit the names and the club does the rest.
