Default Advice for new CFIGs

A year ago I decided I was going to give something back to my club by becoming a CFIG. I was hoping that I might find several other club members who would take this journey together with me, but now, ready for my checkride, I am the only candidate. Why do so few people seem to want to do this? The number of CFIGs seems to be gradually diminishing as some younger ones move through to the airlines or older ones retire from teaching or flying. I worry about not having enough instructors to keep our training operations going, placing more and more responsibility on fewer and fewer CFIGs. Several of my fellow club members have stated that they would simply rather fly than instruct or have problems with the instructional organizational model we are using. Are there best practices out there for growing the next generation of instructors and organizing how they function in the club environment? What advice should we be giving to those who do step up?
