RECLAMATION AND RETENTION
Reclamation and Retention is not only a mandated program but also a cornerstone of our commitment to sustaining and growing the brotherhood within the Massive and Progressive 12th District. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that we optimize membership and maintain the vitality of our organization. Together, with your support and dedication, we have the power to foster a stronger, more engaged fraternal organization.
As of October 22, 2024, we as a district have achieved an incredible milestone of 1,676 financial brothers. This is a testament to the hard work and determination of each member who has contributed to this effort. However, our journey doesn’t end here. To reach our goal of 2,000 financial members, there remains significant work to be done. Every step we take brings us closer, and every brother we reclaim strengthens the foundation of our organization.
To guide our efforts, we continue to emphasize the theme of “Each One Bring One”. This principle serves as a powerful reminder that every conversation, every invitation, and every outreach effort matters. By simply asking a brother to come back home to Omega, we can open the door to renewed connections and reengaged commitments.
In our ongoing efforts to address membership challenges, the 12th District Reclamation and Retention Committee continue to promote our comprehensive survey. This survey aims to uncover the reasons behind the decline in membership, particularly among undergraduate brothers whose initial three-year membership periods have expired. Additionally, it seeks to gather feedback from brothers who were once recognized as Omega Man of the Year but are no longer active, dues-paying members. This survey is just one of many tools we are utilizing to gain a deeper understanding of these trends. By analyzing the responses, we aim to identify actionable strategies and develop effective incentive programs. Our ultimate goal is to not only reclaim brothers but also retainthem, ensuring their continued engagement and active participation in Omega. By focusing on retention, we reduce the need for future reclamation efforts and foster a stronger, more cohesive brotherhood. Brothers, the mission of the Reclamation and Retention Committee is clear: to reclaim one more brother today than we did yesterday and to retain more brothers this year than in the last fiscal year. This mission reflects our unwavering dedication to the growth and sustainability of the 12th District.
Your role in this process cannot be overstated. Every member has a part to play in reclaiming and retaining our brothers. Together, we can create a legacy of strength, unity, and resilience within our district. Let us continue this important work, and let us do so with the passion and commitment that defines the true spirit of Omega!
