We held a Fireside Meeting on the theme of “Membership Growth,” and through everyone's lively input we discussed how we should pursue membership growth going forward.
 
①　About open meetings
　　　• Invite guests who are interested in joining.
　　　• Increase the number of open meetings.
　　　• Invite them not only to open meetings but also to various events. 
 
②　Make the club attractive enough that people want to join.
　　　• Follow-up so that members do not leave
　　　• Raising the level of members
　　　• Revitalize the club by giving younger members key roles.
　　　• Relax club constraints and embrace diversity.
　　　• Consider welcoming women members.
 
　Above all, what matters most is that each member has a strong determination to bring in at least one new member.
　Despite my inexperience in leading the meeting, I learned a great deal from hearing everyone's opinions.
　Thank you very much.
