YOUR DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN

Happy New ROTARY Year!
 
In the Rotary world, July 1 is not only Canada Day but it is also the start of the Rotary year for every club. All the best to all the Rotaract and Rotary Club Presidents in the 70+ clubs that make up our District and warm best wishes to our new District Governor Frank Adamson as he starts his year.
 
For us who are working at the District level (all as volunteers like you), there is much to do.  There is the usual running of the District which includes the managing of global and district grants, the planning for training, and the running of youth programs.
 
Over and above the day to day running of the District, we have the implementation of our strategic plan. The strategic plan is focused on things we want to do more of or do more consistently or even differently to make our clubs, and therefore our District, even stronger over the next three years.
 
A mission statement is your reason for being.  Our raison d'etre at the District level is “inspiring and supporting all the clubs in Rotary District 7090 to be the best that they can be”.
 
How do we plan to do this?
 
We have five key strategies that are the focus of our work over the next three years. Below we will highlight two of the five key strategies and what your club might do to tap into these actions to strengthen your club.
 
For more information and all the strategies, be sure to check out the strategic plan.  It is https://rotary7090.org/sitepage/district-strategic-plan. Look on the left-hand column and you will see our 2020-2023 strategic plan.
 
Also, be sure to read your District Governor’s article (in this newsletter) as he references some of the other actions planned - including ones to support The Rotary Foundation strategy that is part of our district plan.
