- The HRCA aims to enhance property values and quality of life through recreation, events and leadership.
- Delegates represent members in their district and vote on their behalf on issues like budgets and common assessment increases.
- Delegates have duties like attending meetings, overseeing recreation facility expenditures, and representing member interests.
- The HRCA provides recreation amenities and programming through its four community centers and various committees.
Your nonprofit Board of Directors plays a critical role in nonprofit leadership and sustainability. Investment in reviewing and refining best practices and innovative strategies will further increase engagement and effectiveness, therefore better serving the organization’s mission. During the board training, board members will discuss and explore:
• Foundational governance roles and responsibilities
• Shared leadership between board and staff
• The role of the board in ensuring necessary financial and human resources (e.g. fundraising and chief executive oversight and support)
• Organizational and board lifecycles
Participants will receive templates, checklists, and resources for implementation following the training. Governance trainings provide a unique and important opportunity for board members’ professional development and investment in the organizational mission.

Stewardship: How The Rotary Foundation Works to Make the Most of Your Contrib...Rotary International
As a global organization operating in over 200 countries
and geographical areas and in 29 currencies, Rotary
takes stewardship of its funds very seriously. Learn how
The Rotary Foundation works to ensure that Rotarians’
donations reach project recipients efficiently to make
sustainable change.
Critical components of nonprofit board governance are determining strategic direction and providing oversight. While strategic planning falls squarely within these responsibilities, is often dreaded and misunderstood by nonprofit boards. With the right process it can actually increase board engagement and even be (dare we say) fun. Your strategic plan is the roadmap for programmatic and financial sustainability; don't take shortcuts that can sabotage your efforts. Go beyond a basic work plan or one-day, self-led retreat and learn the most effective processes and practices for strategic planning success.
Without a clear guide for fundraising activities in your organization it is difficult to convey needed fundraising efforts throughout your organization, engaging all who are able and leveraging the most dollars for your organization.
Join Emily Davis, author of Fundraising and the Next Generation and President of Emily Davis Consulting to learn:
- Who to involve in the planning process;
- Steps to take to assess your organization, and;
- Essential elements of any fundraising plan.

January 22, 2014 AdNet Webinar: What tools, reports and summary frameworks are you using to report back to your donors? ur works consists of strategic planning sessions, family philanthropy retreats, end-of-year snapshots and nonprofit briefs … how do we most effectively report back to donors so that they fully experience the added value of our community knowledge and philanthropic expertise? Reports and strategy session summaries can take a lot of time and they can waver between the objective and the subjective. Some donors like it brief, like to dig into data, and clearly see a roadmap for progress. Other donors like to understand their values and motivations, understand their relationship to giving, see dynamic visuals, and involve family. If you are interested in learning how some other community foundations are structuring reports and creating consulting summaries, this is a webinar for you. [This webinar is an encore presentation from the 2013 AdNet Conference.] Adnet is the (www.adnetcf.org) premier professional organization for advancement professionals in the community foundation world.

A review of our ten-year mission, the current political environment, the upcoming spending review, and advice on how to advocate to local and national politicians. Presented to delegates from the Arts Council's National Portfolio Organisations in July 2015.
All of these measures combined presently save the HRCA approx. $173, 000 per year in utility cost. The environmental impact is (reduction of 6.4M vehicle miles driven) or (the removal of 327 vehicles from the road) or (1.8M pounds of coal not burned) or ( 465 Acres of trees planted). Please also note that we implemented a number of other measures prior to the Energy Saving Project which included lighting retrofits and de-stratification measures in the gyms. Staff internally recycle used light bulbs and batteries along with the single stream recycling of plastic, paper, and cans.

Be in the know about Future Vision
Future Vision is the strategic plan that will lead The Rotary Foundation into the next century. By aligning projects and activities and giving Rotary clubs more control over grant money, Future Vision will strengthen the impact of the programs that clubs support.
Project Presentation and Financial Information
The proposed Backcountry Outdoor Center project includes a building at Backcountry Base Camp: the Environmental Education Center. The building will be the launchpad for our community to engage with and learn in the outdoors. From a licensed nature preschool and staff offices to flexible indoor/outdoor spaces that will morph from gathering places to a weather shelter, the Environmental Education Center is the next great HRCA amenity. Once our staff's HQ is the Environmental Education Center, Base Camp will be open for more public hours to enjoy walking on our new interpretive trail and visiting our barnyard animals.
The following images describe the site and its location in the Backcountry Wilderness Area. Verizon is proposing three possible options to camouflage the tower, a pine tree, a silo, and a water tower. The Community Involvement Process will help determine which option, if any, is best in this location.
