Editor’s Note: This “DID YOU KNOW?” article is designed to help you discover and learn about the rich Rotary International life that happens outside of our individual clubs’ walls. This month’s article focuses on the Rotary Action Plan.
Rotary International’s vision:
Rotarians share a common bond, which is reflected in our vision statement:
“Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.”
To achieve this vision, Rotary's Action Plan provides a sustainable approach to support strong clubs and a healthy organization, provide a positive and engaging experience for members and participants, and create lasting change in the world. If you search RI’s website (www.rotary.org) using the following key words, a robust guide and a toolkit is available to your club.
- Strategic Planning Guide
- Rotary Action Plan Toolkit
Rotary International’s Action Plan Priorities are:
- increase our impact
- expand our reach
- enhance participant engagement
- increase our ability to adapt
These priorities address what so many Rotarians and other people are seeking. Specifically,
- A sense of purpose and an opportunity for community service
- Ways to work on causes that are important to them
- Organizations with established reputations
- Programs that make a difference locally
I wish you the best of luck as you explore your club’s priorities.
