Assistant governors: prepare for final club visits

Rotary International News -- 29 March 2010

As the end of the Rotary year draws near, assistant governors prepare for their final quarterly visits to their assigned clubs.

Depending on the number and location of assigned clubs and the district budget, this may prove to be a daunting task. While assistant governors should visit each of their assigned clubs at least once in person, they can explore other ways to check in with clubs if personal visits become unfeasible.

* Use web conferencing software to virtually attend a club meeting or assembly.
* Check in with club leaders with frequent phone calls and e-mails.
* Conduct a multi-club visit (if clubs are near each other) to minimize travel and expenses.

Whatever the method, it is important to find a way to communicate with clubs about their progress toward their goals. During the final visit, remind clubs to submit updated membership lists and semiannual dues to RI. (Both can be submitted using Member Access.)

After the final visit, be sure to complete the Memo of Club Visit form and submit it to the district governor by 15 May.
