This document outlines the Rotary Club Vision Facilitation Process, which is a strategic planning method promoted by Rotary International. The process involves club members envisioning their club's future in 5 years, prioritizing goals through voting, and developing an action plan. It is designed to help clubs align their goals with Rotary International's strategic priorities of supporting/strengthening clubs, focusing on humanitarian service, and enhancing public image/awareness. Research shows clubs that complete the visioning process often experience membership growth and initiate new service projects in the first year.
Creating an engaged and diverse membership is key to your club’s success, but determining how to do that can be a challenge.

This document provides guidance on building new Kiwanis clubs. It discusses that new clubs are built to serve more children in more places by filling community needs and providing fellowship and service opportunities. However, many new clubs from 2000-2001 failed within a few years. The key reasons for failure were being too small, lacking initial service projects and funds, and not properly training members. The document then provides a 7 step process to build successful new clubs with recruiting targets and timelines. The process involves forming a new club team, surveying the community needs, connecting with community leaders, recruiting at least 25 members, organizing the club, educating and training members, and providing ongoing support and mentoring.
This document provides an overview and manual for Rotary club membership committees.

Rotarians are leaders. Yes.
However what are the specific roles of leaders of Rotary Clubs?
This is a presentation I gave to my club, Sunyani-Central on the subject.
This document summarizes a presentation from the 2016 Rotary International Convention on orienting new members. The presentation covered the importance of formal induction ceremonies for new members, the value of new member orientation programs, and different methods clubs can use to educate new members, such as one-on-one mentoring, group sessions, and periodic or improvised programs. Resources on membership development from Rotary International were also discussed, including assessment tools, guides for membership committees, and materials for new members.
Rotary International is working to attract younger professionals to join Rotary clubs. Research shows that 90% of current Rotary members are over age 40, while younger professionals are interested in Rotary's goals but perceive the organization as outdated. The key findings from focus groups with non-members were that Rotary's image, identity, and value proposition are unclear. Clubs need to assess how welcoming and relevant they are to younger professionals by making meetings more flexible and family-friendly, involving younger members in leadership, and creating events for professionals under 40. Implementing orientation programs, engaging new younger members, and ongoing outreach can help clubs attract and retain these members.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

The RI Strategic Plan stresses the importance of club innovation and flexibility. Strong clubs are those that implement new ideas to meet member needs and increase the club’s vitality.
There are about 34,000 Rotary clubs worldwide. Each club’s culture and individual practices make it unique. Clubs should embrace the qualities that make them stand out from other clubs while striving to appeal to their community as a whole.
Consider each of the best practices on the next slides as ideas that your club can discuss and, if needed, as opportunities to think of creative ways to improve in those areas. Encourage members to be open to new ideas, and be sure that any decisions that come out of your discussions have strong member support.
All clubs should have a strategic plan with a vision statement describing where they want to be in three to five years, as well as long-range goals to support that vision. All club members should have an opportunity to provide input on the plan to maximize innovative and diverse ideas.
Planning for the future keeps your club relevant to the community. It helps the club accomplish more significant projects over a longer period of time, with sustainable results.
Activities
Ask participants the following questions:
What is a vision?
What is special about your club?
What does your club do well?
Ask participants to think about what their vision for the club would be.
Pass out copies of the Strategic Planning Guide to help members understand the concept of strategic planning and begin thinking about the club’s strategic plan.
It is important to keep club members involved in the planning process and informed of all the club’s initiatives. Club assemblies are a great way to communicate with all members. Consider holding assembly devoted to assessing the effectiveness of current club practices or generating innovative ideas. This would give all members an opportunity to provide input and offer suggestions. Members will be more likely to support and participate in an effort that they have helped develop.
Activities
Ask participants the following questions:
What else could club assemblies be used for?
Have club assemblies been effective?
Have participants write down ideas they want the club to discuss at an assembly.
Rotary leadership changes annually, which can make it hard to carry out a long-range plan. To help ensure continuity, clubs should select leaders well in advance and involve them in the planning process so they have input on decisions that will affect their term.
Activities
Ask participants the following questions:
Who will your club leaders be in the next Rotary year?
Current leaders: What helped you prepare for your term? What would have helped better prepare you?
Does your club have a leadership track? If so, is it working? If not, would it help?
Have teams brainstorm a list of projects or processes that would require continuity in leadership to be carried out effectively.
A strategic plan provides a “big picture” view of the club’s future. But for the club to achieve its long-range goals, it needs to break them down into smaller, annual goals that can be achieved in each of the years covered by the plan.
The Planning Guide for Effective Rotary Clubs is a tool designed to help your club develop its annual goals.
Setting goals ensures that your club is always striving to improve rather than simply accepting current practices.
Activity
Ask participants the following questions:
What are your club’s annual goals?
How were these goals set?
Should the goal-setting process be changed?
The Recommended Rotary Club Bylaws are meant to be taken and adapted to your club. They offer a standard structure and policy, but clubs should tailor them to meet their needs. Your club’s bylaws should reflect your club’s current practices.
Activity
Have all members write down one club practice they would like to see abandoned and one they would like to see adopted.
We want members to keep coming back to meetings with enthusiasm, not feel that they are boring or an obligation. Vibrant clubs are fun and have enthusiastic members.
If your club isn’t having fun, ask members for ideas that the club could implement to make it more fun.
Strong relationships are key to member retention. If new members are not welcomed properly or included in social circles at club meetings, disinterest or tension is likely to develop.
Rotary offers networking opportunities that should be promoted in recruiting efforts. These opportunities are attractive to young professionals.
Activities
Ask participants to shout out ways the club could have more fun, and write their responses on a flip chart.
Have participants get up and find someone they don’t know very well. Have each person tell the other person about something good that happened that week.
How does your club involve members? Are members in your club engaged? If all members do is attend meetings, the club is likely not vibrant. Engage members starts with talking to them about what they enjoy and what they would like to see happen. Developing club programs and activities based on members’ interests will ensure more active members.
Activities
Ask participants to name a service project they would like to participate in, and write their responses on a flip chart. Then take one of those ideas and ask all participants to think of a skill they could bring to the project.
It is natural to fear change, but innovation doesn’t require abandoning all traditions.
Keep Rotary traditions that are meaningful to your club, but foster an environment that allows members to raise questions about club practices.
If the only reason for a certain practice is “we’ve always done it that way,” it probably isn’t contributing to the club’s vitality.
Activities
Ask participants the following questions:
Which traditions are meaningful and which do not contribute to your club’s vitality?
What new ideas could your club try?
Have participants get into pairs and discuss some positive changes that have taken place in the club since they became members.
Have a speaker share a personal story about an innovative idea that improved everyday life.
Activity
Ask participants the following questions:
What other ideas do you have for implementation?
What concerns, if any, do you have?
For each best practice, Be a Vibrant Club offers:
Questions to ask yourself about the club
Sample ideas to try in your club
Resources to help you further explore
With the Internet and social media, there are many ways to communicate club activities, news, and events. Clubs can choose which methods to use, but they should keep the lines of communication open and establish a plan for sharing information.
Club members’ needs should be known and expressed to club leaders and, at times, to district leaders. Likewise, district initiatives should be communicated to club leaders and members.
Social media is growing in popularity and offers a great way to share information.
Activities
Ask participants the following questions:
Why do you visit your club and district websites?
What would you like to see on your club and district websites?
Pair members who are familiar with social media (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn) with a member who is not. Have them discuss the benefits of social media and the types of information shared through online social networks, as well as the logistics of creating an account.
Work together to compare your club’s current practices with each of the best practices listed in the guide.
For areas that need improvement, think of new ideas and decide how to implement them. Implementation takes time, but it is worth the effort.
Activity
Ask participants the following questions:
What other best practices should we consider?
What questions or comments do you have?
District meetings, new member orientations, ongoing educational opportunities, and leadership development programs are all components of a comprehensive training plan.
To ensure that new and current members receive training, clubs should consider appointing a club trainer or, if the club is large, a training committee.
Clubs can also conduct a skills assessment to see which skills members would like training in.
Activity
Ask participants the following questions:
What training would you like to see in our club?
What training could be abandoned, combined, or radically changed?
Regardless of your club’s committee structure, all committees should address the Avenues of Service, club vitality, member involvement, and your club’s needs.
Larger clubs might consider establishing additional committees to involve more members, and smaller clubs might consider combining committees to avoid members serving in too many roles.
Activity
Ask participants the following questions:
Is there anything about your club’s structure that isn’t working?
Are there additional committees that could be added that would help club operations?
Are there some committees that aren’t needed?
