It should be the \\#1 priority of the Potentate, Divan, Membership Committee and the responsibility of EVERY member to assist with membership development. It must be stressed to all members that it is important to identify and recruit new members into the Masonic fraternity. The Potentate should appoint a Noble to serve as Membership Chairman, Recruitment Chairman, Masonic Relations Chairman, Retention/Mentoring Chairman and Restoration Chairman. These appointments should not be left to chance. Meticulous consideration must be given to choose the right Nobles for these positions. Many temples also designate the HP& P to serve as liaison to the Membership Committee.  \nIf every Noble works enthusiastically at Creations, Retention and Reinstatements, a temple will succeed in its Membership Endeavors.

Temples must realize that we have to reach out to our family and friends and encourage them to become Masons and Shriners. When they join the fraternity, we must provide a quality experience that will encourage them to stay in the Shrine, get active and bring in their friends and relatives.  \n􀂅 Set a yearly Goal to Recruit 5% of Regular Membership as of Jan. 1.  \n􀂅 Provide every member with tools necessary for approaching and recruiting new members.
