Rotary Board decisions

Eighty-four decisions came out of the November RI Board meeting - which, according to reports, was the most "think outside the box" Board meeting in memory. You will want to read this report found on the Rotary website:  Rotary.org: Board decisions

There are several items that may affect your districts, including:

• The Board took action to balance district membership by encouraging large districts to split into two or three new districts and by agreeing to merge smaller districts that do not meet minimum size requirements by specific dates set by the Board, with the ultimate goal of there being no district with fewer than 33 clubs or 1,200 members or more than 100 clubs and 4,000 members. The Board encouraged district leaders to work with the RI directors and Rotary coordinators to meet this redistricting objective.
• The Board agreed to review at its January 2011 meeting legislation for possible submission to the 2013 Council that would amend long-standing club meeting and membership qualification requirements. 
• The Board established three new pilot projects aimed at boosting membership in RI.
