Recognition For Just One Success
At Imperial Session, we saw the unveiling of new Imperial Potentate Jim Smith’s Just One
campaign to increase Shriner membership. A simple but powerful idea drives this initiative: If every current Shriner resolves to recruit or restore “just one” noble to his temple, the ranks of our brotherhood will swell tremendously.
Levels
In order to build enthusiasm for the Just One initiative and keep it going, we are instituting a multi-level program for recognizing and rewarding top-line signers for their successful efforts bringing in new members or restoring suspended members. These are:
- Level 1 – Upon creation or restoration of one member, the top-line signer will receive a postcard and Just One pin from Imperial Potentate Jeff Sowder.
- Level 2 – Upon bringing in a two members, the top-line signer will be listed in Shriner Magazine.
- Level 3 – With three new creations or restorations, the top-line signer will receive an award certificate and a letter of appreciation from Imperial Sir Sowder.
- Level 4 – After five creations or restorations, the top-line signer will receive a personal phone call from the Imperial Potentate.
- Level 5 – Top-line signers responsible for 10 additional Shriner brothers will receive a special invitation to attend a Just One VIP reception with the Imperil Divan at the 2020 Imperial Session.
In addition to these points of recognition, we strongly encourage local temples to find other ways of honoring your members who embrace the challenge of helping grow our membership.
As a record-keeping aid, Just One referral cards were presented at Imperial Session, and more will be made available for temples to share with their members. If your temple has members using the cards, you will need to assign someone to collect them and enter the information on WebFez (https://webfez.shrinenet.org/nextstep).
If you have any questions about the Just One program, please contact the Membership Development Department by email at membership@shrinenet.org or call (813) 281-0300.
