Shining Stars Club Membership Challenge

Quota International is pleased to announce a new annual membership competition for clubs, the Shining Stars Membership Challenge. This challenge will replace the annual District Dynamo program effective immediately and it rewards both net membership growth AND membership recruitment success. Now, clubs of all sizes have a chance to have their membership success honored! In addition, organizers of new clubs will receive special recognition.

When are winners determined?
This program will operate on a CALENDAR YEAR basis using the official January membership statistics. (This is a change from the District Dynamo program that began April 1 of one year and ended March 31 of the following year.) Winners will be notified each year after official January membership statistics are finalized and all dues statements are processed.

How do clubs participate?
All clubs need to do to participate is send in new member forms and report membership losses on a monthly basis between January 1 and December 31. To be included in membership counts, all new member forms must be accompanied with payment. Member forms received without payment will not be included in club membership counts.

What are the specific club award categories?

• Net Membership Growth Award Categories
  • 10% net growth between January 1 and December 31 - Sparkles
  • 20% net growth between January 1 and December 31 - Stars
  • 30% net growth between January 1 and December 31 - Silver Stars
    
    
• Membership Recruitment Award Categories
  • 5 new members recruited between January 1 and December 31 - Sparkles
  • 10 new members recruited between January 1 and December 31 - Stars
  • 15 new members recruited between January 1 and December 31 - Silver Stars

What will club award winners receive?

• Sparkles will receive a special Shining Stars Certificate.
  
  
• Stars will receive a special Shining Stars Certificate and special general session recognition at area meetings (in non-convention years) and at convention (in convention years).
  
  
• Silver Stars will receive a special Shining Stars Certificate, special recognition at area meetings (in non-convention years) and at convention (in convention years), and the winning club's president (or representative) will be invited to a special celebration get-together with Quota's president at area meetings (in non-convention years) and at convention (in convention years).
  
  
• All winning clubs will be listed in annual D&G reports that are published in the convention notebook (in convention years) and on the Quota Web site (every year). In addition, the names of all winning clubs will be announced in a Quota Quick Update sent to all Quota members with e-mail addresses in Quota's database and in a Quota headline published on www.quota.org.

Will newly organized clubs qualify for the Shining Stars Award?
Newly organized clubs that charter in a calendar year will not qualify for the Shining Star award in the year that the club charters. Only official Quota clubs in operation on January 1 in a given year will qualify. However, organizers of new clubs that charter after January 1 of a given year WILL receive special recognition as "Shooting Stars." Shooting Stars will receive the same benefits as "Silver Stars." In addition (separate from this program), all new club organizers receive a special new club organizer's pin and other benefits awarded through the Centennial Service & Growth Program.
