Creating Dynamic Clubs

Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I'll remember. Involve me and I'll understand. -- Confucious
(Excerpts from a post by Joe Brownlee, Manager, RI Strategic Planning)

"Rotary Coordinators are key to helping clubs and districts understand the connection between their success and the organization’s mission and vision." Following are a few of our goals where we can use your ideas and assistance:

Find clubs with innovative programs and activities and share what you’ve learned with RI and with the clubs and districts you visit. Send your "Best Practices" to Zone 25 RC Judi - judi5110@comcast.net or Zone 26 RC Don Kremer - dekremer@pacbell.net

Promote club planning so that clubs can see how what they do connects to a strategic priority or goal

Engage clubs in understanding what “signature” projects and activities are. What does a club do best? Can they do it better? Are they known in the community for what they are passionate about?

Encourage district leaders to help clubs collaborate, encourage planning and public relations efforts so they can learn from each other

How a club interprets the priorities will vary by geography. There is no “right way” but the one that fits best with a club’s community.

The strategic planning web page provides information and resources. E-learning modules on the strategic priorities are being prepared to help clubs and districts find their focus, offer ideas and ways to become bigger, bolder and better.

Contact the Strategic Planning Office at SPO@Rotary.org for more information.
