GUEST SPEAKER: A.G. LORRAINE GREENWOOD.

 

A.G. Lorraine Greenwood made a presentation on the  Regionalisation pilot scheme, in itself a work in progress.

Rotary International is considering a project to address membership, public image, communication, leadership and fundraising challenges to help define a more sustainable future for Rotary.

With a membership decline of 24%, to realise our future, change is required. 

Must face challenges of: ageing, attracting and retaining members, public lack of understanding and complex structure.

The project seeks to develop and test a streamlined governance approach to:

  • Allow clubs sharing geography, culture to organise on ways that suit them.
  • Eliminate duplication, to make more responsive and cost effective.
  • Best resources easily accessible to every club.
  • Improve communication to enhance club and member engagement.
  • Grow membership.
  • Attract more community, corporate and government sector support by communicating with one voice.
  • Foster more diverse perspectives in decision making.
  • Enhance leadership and personal development activities to better suit our modern world.
  • Reduce the burden of administration responsibilities placed upon leaders.
The overarching aim of the project is to provide better and more direct support to Rotary clubs through a less layered and more developed contemporary approach.
Principles of Regionalisation structure:
  • Democratically elect Region Council.
  • Area leader elected by 10-25 clubs
  • Any Rotarian can nominate themselves.
  • Representation important - geography, gender.
  • 2-4 year term.
  • Collect best resources to help support each club.
Clubs and Districts to vote on are we interested in taking part in designing Rotary for the future.

TO END WITH A SMILE

I didn't realize how bad of a driver I was until my satnav said, "In 400 metres, do a slight right, stop, and let me out."
