From the "Home of Innovation" Zone 33 #ICA Companion Clubs like IMPACT and others not only help Rotary clubs grow but they also serve a great purpose in allowing people who would normally leave your club a chance to continue their Rotary journey. Remember retention starts with choices. Every year members leave Rotary because life was getting in the way of them attending your Rotary meetings. A new job, changing schedules, or other commitments shouldn’t mean the end of their Rotary membership. With Companion Clubs, your members can stay connected to service on THEIR terms. Rotary is about service, not restrictions. Let’s give members choices when they join and options before they leave. #33ICA #impactonrotary #CompanionClubs #FlexibleMembership #RotaryForLife

Like every other successful business, the importance of financial planning for rugby clubs, especially at a community level, cannot be overstated. It is crucial for their sustainability and success, enabling efficient resource allocation for quality facilities, coaching, and equipment. Establishing a clear financial plan helps clubs set realistic budgets, manage expenses, and forecast future needs, ensuring financial stability. Effective financial planning allows clubs to identify diverse revenue streams, such as sponsorships, fundraising events, and grants, reducing reliance on single funding sources. This diversification mitigates financial uncertainties, supporting long-term viability. A well-structured financial plan prioritises investments in player development, community outreach, and infrastructure improvements. This strategic allocation enhances the club’s ability to attract and retain members, fostering growth and success. Transparent financial management builds trust with stakeholders, demonstrating accountability and professionalism to members, sponsors, and the local community. This transparency encourages support and engagement, further solidifying the club’s reputation. In conclusion, financial planning is vital for community rugby clubs to thrive, ensuring sustainable operations, strategic growth, and a positive impact on their communities. By prioritising sound financial practices, these clubs secure their future in the sport and society. #RugbyFinance #CommunitySports #FinancialPlanning #RugbySustainability #SportsManagement #ClubDevelopment #RugbyGrowth #YouthRugby #Sponsorship #CommunityEngagement

🗣 All countries should learn from England how, through great strategy and investment, they can transform the future of women’s football. The Lionesses’ win at UEFA EURO 2022, and their journey to the final of the FIFA World Cup 2023, helped ignite unprecedented interest in the women’s game. For the first time ever, the women’s game has taken centre stage and begun to command the same respect as the men’s game. 📌 To celebrate the Lionesses latest successes, £25m from the Government and £5m from The FA was committed to supporting the improvement of at least 30 facilities across the country. The grants will help to provide women and girls across the country with gold standard facilities and experiences, with priority access for women and girls through reserved peak-time slots and welcoming changing rooms. ✅ Since the Lionesses lifted the EURO trophy in 2022, 68,000 more girls are playing football compared to before the tournament. However, too often, badly lit pitches, unsuitable changing facilities and late-night kick-off times put women and girls off taking to the pitch. ⚽ Yesterday, Arsenal defender and Lionesses captain Leah Williamson returned to her home-town to celebrate the opening of The Leah Williamson Pitch at Newport Pagnell Town FC, one of the half of sites to receive Lionesses Futures Fund grants. 🗣 "It’s a safe space and space where they’re the priority, that’s abnormal so to speak, it’s not a competition, just the facilities to play. If we take that option away from them before they even begin - what are we doing? One day it will be normal and we won't have prioritisation, we’ll have boys and girls on that pitch all the time," said Leah Williamson.

If you're an #association, not only are your sponsors’ needs changing, but their options for how to allocate their marketing budgets are expanding.

We also share insights from four experts, including Bruce Rosenthal, Denise Bethel, MBA of CalCPA, Lori Zoss Kraska, MBA, CFRE of Growth Owl, LLC, and Carey Goryl, CAE, CPRP of Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment (AAPPR), on association sponsorship programs about how your organization can optimize its sponsorship programming to increase #nonduesrevenue and #memberengagement while staying true to your mission. #LGaaS #LeadGenMadeEasy #associationmanagement #associations https://lnkd.in/eqB6-9t9

Associations need sponsorship revenue. However, associations are sometimes concerned about risks of being too "cozy" with sponsors. I offered solutions to this dilemma in the Lead Marvels report, "What Your Sponsors Want and How to Optimize for It". In the section "Letting Sponsors Into the Conversation" I explain how associations can reach out to companies for their sponsorship support in a way that fulfills members' needs. #nonduesrevenue #nonprofitfundraising  #sponsorships #corporatepartnerships #associationmanagement #corporatesponsorship #corporatepartners #associations #fundraising
