The Crisis Killing Service Organizations - And How to Save Them Rotary clubs, Lions International, Chambers of Commerce, and countless other service organizations are dying. Membership is aging out, younger generations aren't joining, and traditional models that worked for decades are failing spectacularly. In this eye-opening episode of Rooted in Revenue, host Susan Finch and guest Miguel de Jesus tackle this crisis head-on. Miguel, a seasoned executive who went from East Harlem public housing to building $2B in revenue at Paychex, brings decades of organizational leadership experience. Susan, running a nonprofit in Oregon while watching service organizations struggle, offers frontline perspective on what's not working. Together, they dissect why Monday noon meetings don't attract busy professionals anymore, how ego-driven leadership kills organizations just like it kills companies, and why value propositions matter more than tradition. But this isn't just about problems - it's about solutions. Discover how to reach students before they graduate, why "actionists beat activists" with younger generations, and how organizations can adapt their models without losing their mission. Whether you're leading a Rotary club, Chamber of Commerce, or any community organization, this conversation offers a roadmap for survival and growth. The future of community service depends on leaders willing to evolve. Are you ready to adapt?   6 Key Points Traditional Models Failing - Monday noon meetings and old networking styles are driving away modern professionals and younger generations Value Proposition Crisis - Service organizations can't answer "what's in it for me?" beyond giving opportunities that don't resonate with everyone Student Engagement Opportunity - Reaching college and high school students creates future members but requires new approaches and connections Actionists Over Activists - Younger generations want hands-on, tangible impact projects rather than traditional meeting-heavy service models Leadership Adaptation Required - Organizations need strategic thinking, not just tactical fixes, to survive the membership crisis Community Connection Missing - Modern mobility and lack of traditional community structures require intentional relationship-building approaches   Miguel de Jesús: Miguel de Jesús transformed from growing up in East Harlem public housing to becoming a powerhouse business executive. His strong family foundation and early discipline through music and sports provided the launching pad for extraordinary career success. After attending Long Island University and Columbia's MBA program, Miguel joined Xerox and rapidly advanced through executive roles. At Paychex, he helped grow the company from $40 million to over $2 billion in revenue while leading 1,500+ team members. Today, Miguel is a sought-after business coach, keynote speaker, and trainer specializing in emotional intelligence and AI-influenced business practices. He serves military special operations personnel transitioning to civilian careers through the Honor Foundation and recently completed five years as Director of Business Development at Cal State University San Marcos. His core values—compassion, competence, achievement, and helping others—drive everything he does as he teaches leaders how to lead with both humility and results.

This month's issue of Rotary Magazine celebrates 25 years of ShelterBox, which started out as a Millennium project by Helston Lizard Rotary Club in 2000.   Since then, through its established partnership with Rotary, with a group of passionate and dedicated Rotarians at its core, it has gone on to support over 3 million people recovering from disaster or conflict worldwide, including in the Caribbean where Hurricane Beryl caused extreme devastation and in Gaza, where ShelterBox has been working with other humanitarian aid agencies to support those displaced by war.  Also in this issue, we round up RI President Stephanie Urchick's visit to Rotary GB&I.

Time for some math. If there are 72 crabs in a bushel, how many crabs are in 260 bushels? And for extra credit, how many crabs per person if they are one of the 1,400 or so at the 80th Annual Rotary Coffee Annapolis Crab Feast on August 1st? SPOILER: The answer is nearly a dozen! Today, we sit down with Lisa Mam, a local realtor and the force behind organizing a feast for over 1,000 people on August 1st. We went from A to Z — from all-you-can-eat to zero waste, and a lot in between. What is required to organize this? How many crabs do you need? When does planning start? How many people make it all go? And then we discussed the rewards for the community — grants to non-profit organizations, as well as other Annapolis Rotary initiatives. To be honest, I am not sure what the community would do without them! Tickets are now on sale online, and some will also be available at the gate on August 1st. Have a listen!

July marks the beginning of a new Rotary year — a moment for members and incoming leaders to reflect and find ways to grow their Rotary clubs and strengthen club culture.

What if making the world a better place was more than just a dream - and became your purpose? Dr. Tom Kelchner joins Mary Ann Faremouth on this episode of Career Can Do to share how a lifelong commitment to service led him from classrooms to community leadership, and now, to his newest role as District Governor for Rotary District 5890. After 33 years in public education, Tom found a new mission through Rotary - one that aligned perfectly with his passion for helping others. “Why do I serve? Because it's needed,” he says. For Tom, service isn't a side project. It's a way of life. Rotary's reach is massive, with 1.4 million members worldwide and initiatives that span from eradicating polio to addressing food insecurity and mental health. But the power of Rotary, Tom explains, is also local. Whether it's mentoring students, helping veterans, or improving access to clean water, the impact is real and personal. Tom also highlights Rotary's work with youth through programs like Interact and youth exchange, showing how service can start early and last a lifetime. Under his leadership, he hopes to grow membership, amplify support for veterans and trafficking awareness, and make Rotary more visible to the wider community. This episode is a powerful reminder that service isn't just noble - it's necessary. And joining an organization like Rotary might just be the start of something much bigger than yourself.

What happens when technology takes a step backward to move forward? This week's episode explores the strange territory where nostalgia, practicality, and innovation collide in unexpected ways.Microsoft is killing off the iconic Blue Screen of Death after four decades, replacing the familiar blue error screen with a simplified black version. While the company claims this will provide better troubleshooting information, we question whether changing such a recognizable symbol of Windows crashes makes sense. After all, when something isn't broken, why fix it?Meanwhile, a fascinating trend has emerged in Portland, Maine, where parents have created a "landline pod" — installing traditional home phones for their children instead of smartphones. What started with one parent's decision has grown to include 15-20 families who are witnessing remarkable improvements in their children's social skills and creative thinking. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the most innovative solution is returning to simpler technologies.The show takes a deep dive into consumer protection as the FTC approves $126 million in refunds for nearly one million Fortnite players who fell victim to "dark pattern" purchases.

Has civility and empathy been eroded from American politicstoday? With so many people taking divided and fractured stands when it comes tothe state of the government. Well, if you take a deeper dive into the numbers,they will tell a compelling and interesting story. According to Gallup News, Arecord-high 80% of U.S. adults believe Americans are greatly divided on themost important values, while 18% believe the country is united. The percentageseeing the nation as divided has ticked up from 77% the last time Gallup askedthe question in 2016. It is more than 10 percentage points higher than in the prior2004 and 2012 measures.Public skepticism about national unity isn't new. Surveys byGallup and others dating back to the 1990s show that Americans typically haveseen the country as divided on key values. Only in 2001 and 2002, in theaftermath of 9/11, did Gallup find most Americans perceiving the opposite, withover two-thirds of U.S. adults believing the nation was united. For someinsightful answers regarding the current state of play in American politics today,I enlisted the expertise of Brent Giannotta.  Brent was a CIA counterterrorism analyst from 2010 to 2015,tracking ISIS foreign fighters, external operations, and extremist psychology.After resigning, he became an award-winning journalist and ghostwrote op-edsfor political figures published in the Washington Post and Foreign PolicyMagazine.
