Question/Answers:

Isn't this program just like collecting names out of the phone book?

NO! The names put forward by members, have to be people that the member knows, and thinks would make a good Rotarian. By using your business card holder, it will 'prompt' you as to people that you meet and know. Also, using your card holder helps the committee with all details such as phone numbers and addresses, etc.

How many names can members submit?

As many as you like. The average member will easily think of 5 - 7 names (3 instantaneously). But it is not uncommon for members to submit 25 names.

Why didn't these people submit all these names as prospective members before?

Maybe in the past, a member was too embarrassed to ask some one to come along to Rotary in case they rejected them. Or maybe, there is a gender problem with a female asking a male? Where-as this way via CIC, the members can simply submit the names and the club does the rest.
