\"Global<\/a>Does your district have a lot of small clubs?\u00a0 Over the last few years, is the number growing (bad), or are the small clubs getting bigger (good)?<\/p>\n

Here’s some interesting graphs about TI membership world-wide, and also of each district:

Fortunately, the number of clubs with 20+ members seems to be growing each year, though not in all districts, and the average number of members per club has edged upwards as well, from 19.3 in June 2006 to 20.0 in June 2010.<\/p>\n

How does D71 (Britain and Ireland)<\/a> manage to have less than 6% of their clubs at 0-12 members, what’s the secret to their success?\u00a0 D46 (New York area)<\/a> and D85 (China)<\/a> aren’t far behind, so it’s not just a matter of being overseas.<\/p>\n

The Distinguished Club Program (DCP) has an interesting effect on membership; when graphing clubs by size in a histogram, there’s a sharp increase at the 20-member threshold.\u00a0 While there’s just 247 clubs at 19 members (on June 30, 2010, worldwide), there’s 1,362 at 20 members.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of clubs eligible for club coaches, 23% globally as of June 2010.\u00a0 I’ll be talking more about club coaches in my next blog entry.\u00a0 So many districts don’t take advantage of this very effective program!<\/p>\n
