 Rotary International(RI) has launched a new strategic plan in the past year. If you have not reviewed it - you may find it most interesting to read. RI is encouraging all clubs/districts to do the same. So our District 7090 recently reviewed and approved a Strategic Plan that will guide the District Leadership Team from 2020 to 2023. Outlined below are the five main strategies and what you can expect to see or experience as a result of this plan. Strategy #1: Educate and guide clubs on innovative ways to recruit and retain new members. Watch for more interactive webinars and regional presentations so clubs can learn from other clubs on what they are doing that is working to recruit and engage members. There will be more resources made available on the District 7090 website and more promotion of these materials so that they are utilized more. Also, there will be active exploring of new geographic areas where we could launch satellites or even new clubs in communities who at this time do not have a Rotary club in that community. Strategy #2: Train club members to provide strong leadership at the club level We are exploring doing more assessments on what clubs want in terms of training so that we are offering customized and not generic training. All President-Elect training will be offered online in 2020-2021 and many other mediums and forms of training will be provided this coming year to traditional Rotarians as well as Rotaractors. Strategy #3: Assist clubs to enhance public image and awareness of all Rotary dies in local and global communities You can expect more interactive training as we have had on Rotary open mic where clubs receive help to post to various forms of social media. Each club is going to be encouraged to have a social media / public image person and our District will support these individuals with materials to post and techniques to help liven and strengthen the image each club projects to its community. Strategy #4: Motivate and guide clubs to increase their understanding and support of the Rotary Foundation. The District Foundation Team is going to be reaching out to clubs to present information about the programs. Training such as what is required for district grants is hopefully going to migrate to an interactive online experience. New district events to raise money for the Foundation will be launched this year. Strategy #5: Inspire clubs to get more involved with youth. You will see more support being provided to help clubs launch and support Rotaract Clubs. Shorter-term youth exchanges will be encouraged as a way to get more clubs in our district involved in youth exchange. RYLA is being relaunched in 20201 with a refreshed program and the goal is to have 40 participants. The plan is on our District website (Strategic Plan). If you have any questions or ideas to help our District to implement this plan, please contact incoming District Governor Frank Adamson (insert district email) or District Governor Nominee Anne Bermingham (anne@d7090.org) | ||
