Membership incentive for councils runs from now through March 29.

The Knights of Columbus is pleased to announce an exciting membership incentive for councils, in which your council can win a branded, personalized pop-up banner like the one pictured here. Called “Sprint to Founder’s Day,” the incentive runs from December 5, 2023, through March 29, 2024, and the rules are simple...if a council brings in six or more new members between today and March 29, the council wins.

Displaying this banner prominently at council and parish events will help to raise awareness of and excitement about the council. Here are resources at councils’ disposal to help them succeed.

The council’s district deputy. His experience and knowledge of the Order will be extremely beneficial in planning for membership success, during this incentive and beyond
The council’s field agent. Successful recruiting is really selling your council to prospective members and their families. Your agent is a professionally trained salesman. He can help you succeed.

Periodic updates throughout the incentive on how councils are doing – along with additional strategies for success – will be provided. Pease contact fraternalmission@kofc.org with any questions.
