  36. SCOTCH TASTING EVENT • September 12 • Deli Dinner • 5 Scotch Brands • Scotch Expert • Auction: Private Dinner

  37. MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT

  38. Membership Facts: # of Member Units 1659 Average Age 64 (39.7 Toronto Avg) Median Age 67 (39.4 Toronto Avg) # Married 1065 (65%) # Single 594 (35%) Average Age Married 62 Average Age Single 65 Average Age to join 37 Average tenure before quitting 13 years (7 yrs for 40s)

  39. Two-thirds of AIC membership is in the 60+ cohort. 35% 65%

  40. Acquisition: 85 family units have joined since Jan, 2017 • Lifestage plays a pivotal role in the decision to join N=85 PARENTS PAY PLOTS B’Nai

  41. However, we have a RETENTION challenge: - AIC has lost 149 units to resignations & cancellations… Acquisition N=149 Resign/Cancel

  42. …and 57 member units were lost to death . Acquisition Resign/Cancel N=207 Deaths

  43. RETENTION: WHY ARE THEY LEAVING?

  44. • “It’s worth the drive to Wilson” Geography plays a less important role on the decision tree: Bathurst & Centre Bathurst & Wilson Avenue & Lawrence. Bayview & John Avenue & Eglinton. Bathurst & Eglinton Leslie & York Mills Bayview & York Mills Leslie & Steeles Bathurst & Finch Yonge & Sheppard Allen & Glencairn Yonge & York Mills Bathurst & Lawrence Bathurst & St. Clair Yonge & Lawrence Avenue & St. Clair Bathurst. & Dupont Dufferin & Major Mac Bayview & Steeles. Bayview. & Finch

  45. Financial factors are relevant N=100

  46. Lifestage may be the most relevant factor - At 40, must balance other financial priorities as they exit the pricing grid - Once B’Nai Mitzvah is completed, Shul is not vital for 15 years (yahrzeit, weddings, baby) N=149 Acquisition Resign/Cancel

  47. In total, AIC experienced a net loss of -120 units* *Since January, 2017

  48. We know Religion a la carte is emerging as a key threat to traditional Shuls:

  49. OPPORTUNITY COST* Stemming attrition while we determine how to attract young families is priority 1. Assumptions: • Membership dues only (does not include value of future donations) • Assumes 30 years of lost membership dues and attrition of 50 members units annually

  50. Membership Deep Dive By Category

  51. MEMBERSHIP CONTRIBUTION BY CATEGORY

  52. Membership by Category: Fun Facts 1. 67% of members are paying full dues (Singles and Families) generating 84% of Contribution Revenue. 2. However, 18% of members are on fixed dues costing AIC ~$200K per annum 3. Only 11% of members are below age 41 paying the grid rate, generating 7% of total revenue.

  53. Members who are 85+ represent 13% of total members units (just 8% of revenue): - More than half are on reduced rates - Manage those who cannot pay full rate with sensitivity
