Keeping Membeship Pesonnel Motivated The membeship diecto and each committee chaiman ae esponsible fo keeping the membeship pesonnel motivated. It is natual to appeciate ecognition fo a job well-done. Hee ae some suggestions to keep moale high: Be sue that each Knight gets full cedit and ecognition fo his wok. An occasional pesonal witten note may mean a geat deal to the ecipient. Make use of cuent membeship campaign awads and incentives. Listen to the suggestions of you council membes and acknowledge good advice. Tell you bothe Knight that you appeciate his inteest and will conside his idea. Be pepaed to listen when a membe has a question o poblem. Guide him, but get him to do most of the thinking. This indicates espect fo his judgment, giving him confidence and a feeling of impotance. Accept esponsibility fo you mistakes. This shows you team that you know that you ae human and fallible. Oganizing the Recuitment Committee The fist and pehaps most impotant step in setting up a successful membeship pogam is oganizing you membeship committees. The key is to ensue that these impotant positions ae filled and appointees 8 ae dedicated and enthusiastic Knights. The pocess of oganizing a ecuitment committee is as follows: The gand knight appoints a membeship diecto to ovesee all membeship pogams and ecuitment activities. Upon ecommendation of the membeship diecto, the gand knight appoints a ecuitment committee of thee o moe Knights. He should select successful ecuites o sales-oiented membes. The membeship diecto and ecuitment committee membes fom two-man ecuitment teams. The gand knight, upon ecommendation of the membeship diecto, appoints a etention chaiman and committee. It is ecommended that the deputy gand knight seve on the etention committee. The gand knight appoints an insuance pomotion chaiman, pefeably the council s insuance agent. The membeship diecto, committee chaimen and committees set goals and plan specific ecuitment, etention and insuance pomotion activities fo the entie yea. Plan a full yea's schedule of monthly Admission (Fist Degee) Ceemonials. Identify and schedule ecuitment methods that best suit you council s needs and goals (chuch dives, open houses, team ecuiting, etc). Set membeship goals (exceed quota, ean Sta Council, beak the pevious ecuitment ecod, etc.). Get the ENTIRE council involved. Those who don t ecuit diectly can identify and suggest pospective membes. Poven Membeship Recuitment Stategies In a suvey, membes wee asked why they waited so long to join the Knights of Columbus. All too often the answe was nobody eve asked me. With the ight ecuitment stategy in place, you council will ensue that 9
7 evey eligible Catholic man in you paish has the oppotunity to join you council. A diect esult of ecuiting is you council s ability to incease its chaitable impact in you paish and community. While this manual contains only a few examples of ecuitment activities, it is meant to inspie you council into action. By ecuiting new membes, you council is continuing Fathe McGivney s vision and commitment of poviding assistance to people in you paish and community. VIP Club (Vey Impotant Popose) The VIP Club not only publicly honos ecuites, but also inspies eveyone to do thei pat in the ongoing ecuitment dives. Membeship in the VIP Club is automatic when: You ecuit two o moe membes and complete section 5 of the Membeship Document (#100) with you name and membeship numbe. l The Depatment of Fatenal Sevices maintains VIP Club ecods and only povides yea-to-date and life-to-date totals. VIP Club membes ae eligible to ean ecognition cetificates, special lapel pins and Knights of Columbus-banded mechandise. l Highe levels of the VIP Club ae attained with the moe pospective membes you ecuit. You esponsibilities as popose don't end with the signed Membeship Document (#100): You should accompany the pospect to the Admission Committee meeting and Admission (Fist Degee) Ceemonial. At the new membe's fist council meeting, intoduce him to his bothe Knights and make him feel welcome. If you notice that he stops volunteeing fo chaitable outeach pogams o attending meetings, make pesonal contact with him. Building a Pospect List You council s membeship committee should have a continuously updated list of potential membes. Conside these steps fo building and maintaining a pospective membe list: Ask you pasto fo the paish oste. Add all local piests who ae not Knights. Add all ushes, paish council membes, choi membes and lectos. Fom a welcoming committee to geet and ecuit new men and families of the paish. Recuit 18-yea-old Columbian Squies and high school o college gaduates. Regulaly advetise in you paish bulletin, inviting potential membes to contact the membeship committee. Obtain a list of fome membes and inactive insuance membes in you aea fom the Supeme Council Membeship Gowth Depatment. 1 Admission Committee Guidelines Use of an Admission Committee is essential to ensue that you council and the candidate undestand one anothe's expectations.

As an altenative, the Supeme Council has designated select pogams as Featued Pogams in each of the Sevice Pogam categoies. When you council successfully conducts a Featued Pogam, it automatically fulfills all fou activity equiements fo that Sevice Pogam categoy. To be eligible fo this awad, two foms must be submitted and accepted: Sevice Pogam Pesonnel Repot (#365), due Aug. 1. Columbian Awad Application (#SP-7), due June 30. Appendix B Cetified Council Ceemonial Team You gand knight is diectly esponsible fo the fomation o continuation of you council s Fist Degee Ceemonial team. When you council has its own team, it has geate oppotunities to welcome moe membes into you council. A Fist Degee Ceemonial team can be fomed with fou membes and you council s financial secetay. You council chai offices may assume team oles, but the oppotunity to do so should be open to all membes of you council. 21
13 Although the Admission (Fist Degee) Ceemonial may be conducted by eading the pats, it is pefeed that you team memoizes the necessay text. Once team membes have memoized thei pats and ae able to delive the Admission (Fist Degee) Ceemonial in an inspiing manne, they should be fully cetified (along with backup membes) by the distict deputy. Fist Degee Ceemonial Guidelines You council should host an Admission (Fist Degee) Ceemonial on a monthly basis. A candidate need not tavel fa o wait extended peiods of time to join you council. If you council's ceemonial team is not available o the candidate has a conflict with the date/time of the scheduled ceemonial, use the Fist Degee Video Poduction to advance the candidate. Appendix C 22 The financial secetay o gand knight must ode Candidates Kits (#531) by logging into the Offices Online section of the Knights of Columbus website and clicking the link to KnightsGea. Each candidate kit consists of a osay, a paye cad, a blank membeship cad, a Knights of Columbus pin (#PG-107), a copy of the booklet These Men They Call Knights (#937) and infomation on the Shining Amo Awad. The gand knight is in chage of this degee, which may be confeed pio to, duing, following o sepaately fom a egula council meeting. The degee team offices need not be cuent chai offices. Degee team offices may wea the Supeme Council Ceemonial baldic ove a dak-coloed business suit with the council jewel of office. Ceemonial baldics ae available fom the following official fatenal supplies: Lynch and Kelly, Inc.; Les Entepises Roge Sauvé; and The English Company. Reading degee pats is allowed, as is the use of the Naation CD and the Fist Degee Video Poduction. Howeve, memoization is the pefeed method of delivey. A team may exemplify a degee befoe being cetified by the distict deputy. When team membes ae eady fo cetification, the gand knight should equest the distict deputy to cetify them on a mutually ageed date and time. The financial secetay and the waden should be the custodians of the books, CD and DVD. The waden should have the council chambe aanged as shown on Diagam A, page 6, in the Fist Degee Ceemonial Book (#2080). Qualifications fo Membeship The qualifications fo membeship in the Knights of Columbus ae contained in Section 101 of the Laws of the Ode. They ae as follows: Only pactical Catholics in union with the Holy See shall be eligible to and entitled to continue membeship in the Ode. An applicant fo membeship shall not be less than 18 yeas of age on his last bithday. Thee ae no othe qualifications. Pactical Catholic Guidelines have been established to assist the Admission Committee in detemining the pactical Catholicity of an applicant o membe. The main components of the equiement may be descibed as follows: If questions egading the pactical Catholicity of an applicant o membe aise, the pasto of the applicant o membe should be consulted befoe any action is taken. A pactical Catholic accepts the teaching authoity of the Catholic Chuch on mattes of faith and moals, aspies to live in accodance with the pecepts of the Catholic Chuch, and is in good standing in the Catholic Chuch. A pactical Catholic stives to have a geate knowledge of the teaching of Chist and his Chuch, and to accept, espect and defend the Chuch s authoity (vested in the supeme pontiff, and the hieachy and clegy united with him) to teach, goven and sanctify the faithful. 23
14 A pactical Catholic gives mateial and moal suppot to the Chuch and he woks on all levels, pomoting the pogams of the paish and diocese and coming to the aid of the missions, the needy and the undepivileged; suppots and advances the just causes of minoity goups; endeavos to eliminate unjust discimination, pejudice, etc.; and suppots the Chuch in he defense of maiage and family life. Appendix D Standing Council Committees Admission Committee Ensues that the applicant undestands the Ode and that the council undestands what the candidate expects fom his membeship.
