Editor's Notes
- Speaking points: Sometimes the person sitting right next to you has the answers to your questions. Be sure to talk to people and ask questions to find the information you need. Connect with other leaders in your district. Also, you know members of your club and their strengths; don’t hesitate to draw upon their expertise and experience to help other clubs who could benefit from the guidance.
- Speaking points: Your regional Rotary Foundation coordinator is a key resource on all Foundation-related topics. Your Rotary coordinator offers support and expertise to help create strong, dynamic, and effective clubs and districts. Your Rotary public image coordinator has expertise in the fields of public relations and/or media outreach. Your endowment/major gifts adviser can help you and other district leaders educate Rotarians, alumni, and friends of Rotary on opportunities to give major gifts to The Rotary Foundation.
- RRFC cooperate with the RI director. The director’s role is to facilitate the joint activities of the regional coordinators team, which are vital to achieving the goals of The Rotary Foundation. Our director also provides support as we work to identify the greatest needs in our area, select our assistants, set goals and track successes, and develop strategies we report to the trustee chair, cooperate with the trustee in our regions. We consult with trustees on local matters, such as stewardship or grant issues. We work closely with trustees and district leaders on district Rotary Foundation committee chair appointments. One critical objective for us is to help districts support clubs. We recognize that it is impossible to reach all of the clubs in our region directly. Our assistants help clubs work closely with district leaders. EMG/A Advisers collaborate with us to identify districts who are interested in learning more about major gifts. Support of district leaders is crucial to our success. Our District leaders (you) are our primary audience. We will most likely communicate all messages that are intended for club leaders in our zone through you. That’s why we must build a strong relationships together.
- To have this achieved, Asstnt RRFCs maintain communication link between RRFCs, DGs and district leaders, District Foundation committee chairs, and Rotary Clubs (on case by case and by invitation from District leadership).
- Speaking points: Who has an account on Rotary.org? In order to see member-only information, you need to create an account, so let’s create one together. You will need one in order to access the online tools discussed in the rest of this session.

Get to Rotary Club Central from the home page of Rotary.org: Scroll down to the bottom of the page and choose Visit Rotary Club Central. Assistant governors must become familiar with this tool to: Enter goals on their clubs’ behalf if asked Rate their assigned clubs after checking in with them as a suggested rating for the district governor Leave notes for the district governor about clubs’ progress District committees can see District View to track progress toward district goals. To learn more about Rotary Club Central, go to the Learning Center and select Goal Setting from the subject list. Then choose Rotary Club Central Resources. There are several resources in the course, one being a district reference guide. Trainer notes: Sign in to Rotary.org and show the participants Rotary Club Central live, using your own club’s data.

- Speaking points: The Brand Center is where Rotarians can go to check on messaging and visual guidelines and to download the new logos and editable templates.

- Speaking points: Find an online community by joining discussion groups. If you don’t see a group about a topic of interest to you, start your own. And be sure to search for your district number under “Find a Group” to see if your district has joined the conversation. Many districts have created their own groups to discuss district-specific issues. It’s a great way to connect with others in your district and start discussions about new ideas. Trainer notes: Check whether your district has a group. Look at existing groups and demonstrate how to join one.
- Speaking points: Rotary Showcase is an online database of Rotary service projects that allows Rotarians to post project descriptions and photos, identify partner clubs, and share the impact of their projects. It has projects posted by Rotarians around the world in nine languages. Ask clubs to post their successfully completed projects on Showcase. Clubs can search the site for project ideas and to learn how other clubs have approached projects similar to theirs. Trainer notes: Go to www.rotary.org/showcase and show them the projects that are in the system. Show how to change the language. Demonstrate how to post a project and upload photos. Show where they can find contact information if they want to connect with a club that posted a project.
- Speaking points: Rotary Ideas helps clubs find local and international clubs to partner with for funding, volunteers, materials, and other resources. Any club or district can post a project that’s in need of resources to Rotary Ideas. If clubs in your district often need partners in order to complete projects, this is a great way to promote project needs and attract project partners. Rotarians and non-Rotarians can contribute resources to the projects. Trainer note: Check whether any clubs in your district have posted projects to Rotary Ideas.
- Speaking point: Are there any questions?
