“For the first time in the U.S. workplace, we have four generations working side-by-side; the traditionalists (people in their 60’s and older), baby boomers (mid-forties to early 60s), Generation Xers (late 20s to early 40s, and Generation Yers (mid 20s and younger).
Over the next 25 years 80 million baby boomers will retire, but there will only be 46 million Generation Xers to take their place. That means we need to get many more Generation Xers into Rotary to sustain membership at its current level.
The generation after them (Generation Yers) is actually about the same size as the baby boomer population. Why would we ignore such an important and large group?
For Rotary to be prominent in the next 100 years young people are the answer. 
If that’s not motivation to go out and recruit, what is.”
