Grand Lodge Members’ Pathway: Attracting Members – Growing Lodges
Plan, Attract, Engage and Retrieve are watchwords coined by The Pathway Working Party to form a framework for bolstering both current meetings and future membership. Here’s how your Lodge can benefit
M
embership remains at the heart of UGLE’s strategic thinking and so I am immensely pleased to have been asked to introduce this updated Members’ Pathway to you. The Members’ Pathway was launched in 2017, and a significant review was undertaken by the Pathway Working Party in 2019. Valuable lessons were learnt from the Lodges that had adopted the original version, and this led to a project to revamp it – to incorporate those lessons and assist us all to achieve our aim of first stabilising and then increasing our membership. Plan, Attract, Engage and Retrieve are our new watchwords to help ensure our meetings are enjoyed by all, losses are stemmed and our membership grows. I am extremely impressed with the updated version of the Members’ Pathway. It will be of enormous value to all Lodges across the Constitution, whether they be in Metropolitan Grand Lodge, the Provinces or our Districts. The initial rollout will be to Lodges through Metropolitan Grand Lodge and Provincial Grand Lodges. This will be followed by a project to support Districts. I encourage you to read this article, consider and study the attached leaflet, work with your Lodge Membership Team who will be supported by the Provincial teams, including the Provincial Pathway Officers, and let’s all start to make our hopes and ambitions realities.
