I know this can be a problem.. It's not one that's simple to fix. You have to have motivated and motivatING people in key positions for your new members to feel the positive energy and want to contribute.

When new members fail to do something often it's because of poor communication on the side of the older members. If they haven't gotten to know some older members maybe it's because the olders didn't make themselves available? It's important that they extend effort also.
