CLUB LEADERSHIP PLAN
Club Administration for the 2009 2010 year in District 9830 will feature the promotion of the Club Leadership Plan to those Clubs who have not already progressed down this path. Assistance is available to Clubs regarding their Constitution and Bylaws.
The Club Leadership Plan is the recommended structure for Rotary Clubs. It is based on best practices of Effective Rotary Clubs which include:
- Developing long-range goals for an effective Club;
- Convening regular Club meetings;
- Involving all Club members in the activities and fellowship of the Club;
- Maintaining open lines of communication;
- Ensuring continuity in leadership;
- Providing regular consistent training.
The Club Leadership Plan can help clubs increase their ability to meet their goals in each Avenue of Service.
- Implementing successful service projects affects Vocational, Community, and International Service.
- Increased membership gives a club a greater pool of Rotarians working in each avenue.
- Supporting The Rotary Foundation affects both Community and International Service.
- Streamlined processes, better communication, strategic planning, and increased member involvement will improve Club Service.
The Avenues of Service are the foundation for an effective club. Effective clubs
are able to achieve the Object of Rotary by
- Sustaining or increasing their membership base
