Club Officers Training at Division D (District 80) - Roles and Responsibilities of Exco
Presented by: Chai Pei Shan, IPP of Money Mastery (SG) TMC and Club Mentor of Toastmasters in Christ.
View the recording: https://vimeo.com/123234534 This webinar focuses on member engagement as a path to member retention. Clubs that keep existing and new members involved in club leadership, decisions and activities are much more likely to have members that feel connected to the club and as a result, have higher retention rates.
Does your club have difficulty keeping your newest members? Do you take the time to orient new members into the culture of your club and Rotary? Learn about when new members are most vulnerable to lose interest, and exchange ideas for communicating, engaging and supporting them.
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.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
