Members Hold the Key to MAC’s Success By: Bob Hagnauer, Membership Committee Chairman
T
he most consistent and significant message that has been conveyed to every MAC member over the last six months is the importance of recruiting new members. Without a stable membership base to support it, the club’s financial health is placed under increasing stress. Despite the hard work of the staff in the Membership Office, and the response of many members to the “Each One, Reach One” recruiting program, our recruiting results and overall membership headcount continue to decline. For the first six months of the current fiscal year, we have recruited 25% fewer new members than during the same time period last year. Combine this with an increase in member resignations, and we have lost over a hundred more members than we have recruited over the last six months. This continued erosion of our membership headcount is a trend which we must reverse if we are to improve the club’s financial

condition and continue to offer the great MAC services, amenities and experience that we all expect. Over the last six months, 172 members, less than 7% of our nearly 2,500 members, have submitted the names of 224 prospective members. These have so far produced 68 new member enrollments. No matter how you slice it, the numbers paint a very clear picture. If more members don’t help us, there is no way we will be able to recruit enough new members to offset the resignations. The MAC exists to serve the members, but during this time of increased challenges, the club must call on every one of its members to pitch in and help us reverse the downward membership trend. You can help by giving the name of a prospective member to Patti or Julie in the Membership Office. If every member gave the name of just one prospective new member each year, our condition would look very different. For our new member recruitment efforts to succeed, far more than 7% of our members must stand up and help. The call is clear, and the keys to our success are in your hands.
If you would like to refer a new member, please contact Patti Cundiff (Downtown) in the Membership Office at 314-539-4429 or Julie Kueper (West) at 314-539-4408.
