Editor's Notes
- #2 Manoj – Opening and welcome to the session. Introduces Stephanie and Joe: Stephanie is a past trustee of the The Rotary Foundation and is currently chairing the TRF Centennial Celebration Committee, as well as serving as chair of Rotary's Strategic Planning Committee. As Chief Strategy Officer of Rotary International, Joe Brownlee plans and coordinates strategic initiatives. He joined Rotary in 2004 as its general auditor and has since held the positions of strategic planning manager and global launch manager for Rotary’s streamlined grant model.
- #5 Our world is changing at an unprecedented rate. It is imperative to look at our relevance and purpose five to ten years down the line. How will we do that? The answer is our Strategic Plan. The plan provides clubs and districts a road map to advance Rotary in communities around world. The strategic plan was developed in 2010 and after review in 2013-14 it remains in place and intact.
- #6 In our last survey in 2014, as shown on screen, we found that there is extremely strong support around the Rotary world for the current plan. 96 to 97% of respondents agree that the plan and three priorities are appropriate.
- #7 Our priorities are: supporting and strengthening clubs, focusing and increasing humanitarian service, and enhancing our public image. They are reinforced by our core values: fellowship, integrity, diversity, service, and leadership. Membership is our single greatest asset… As membership increases, clubs are more vibrant, Rotary has more to show the world, and more resources to help communities, clubs, and RI flourish—all in an environment where people and organizations, don’t have unlimited resources.
- #8 Keeping Rotary strong, attractive, and relevant starts with supporting and strengthening our clubs. Let’s take a look at how we supported this priority.
- #9 In 2011, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to membership, we developed the Regional Membership Plans. In the 4th year of implementing the Regional Membership Plans, we believe the plans are helping maintain our membership levels. (click) We streamlined the membership leads program. It is now easier for prospective members to express their interest in joining Rotary. We’ve also simplified the process for Rotarians who wish to change clubs or make a membership referral. (click) Through Rotary Global Rewards, a Rotary member benefit program, we are providing Rotarians and Rotaractors with discounts and special offers on products and services around the world. Since July 2015, the Rotary Global Rewards has seen over 62,000 unique site visits.
- #10 Next, let’s take a look at another strategic plan priority - focusing and increasing humanitarian service.
- #11 In the words of Past RI President Kalyan Banerjee, “thanks to PolioPlus the world discovered Rotary and Rotarians discovered themselves.” The impact of the global mobilization of Rotarians, all working towards a common purpose, cannot be emphasized enough. Because of this worldwide focus, Polio is ever so close to being eradicated, and to date in 2016 we’ve only seen only 9 cases.
- #12 11
- #13 We are planning for our Foundation’s centennial, marking Rotary’s 100 years of doing good in the world. The celebration kicks off at the 2016 Rotary Convention in Korea and culminates at the 2017 convention in Atlanta. Through the centennial, we will help Rotarians better understand what can be achieved by supporting and using resources available through the Foundation. We also have a chance to show the public the impact our clubs and members make in communities across the globe.
- #14 Let me now highlight the third priority of the RI Strategic Plan – enhancing public image and awareness.
- #15 In 2015, we continued to enhance awareness of our work around polio. On World Polio Day in October, we engaged clubs and polio champions. This resulted in reaching 145 million through content shared on social media by clubs, districts, RI, End Polio celebrities and other partner organizations.
- #16 Rotarians now have access to Rotary’s Brand Center. These tools help maintain a clear, cohesive message about what Rotary is, what we do, and why it is important. We’ve also enhanced the branding efforts to align Rotaract and Interact club identities with Rotary’s global brand.
- #17 And, in helping clubs to promote their activities and connect with others, there’s been a significant effort to “GET CONNECTED”. Tools such as Rotary Showcase help you tell your club’s story and share the impact of your projects. Other products like Rotary Ideas and Discussion Groups are enhancing the Rotary experience.
- #18 This quote from Paul Harris has never been more relevant than it is today. We’re in an exciting time! The eradication of polio is right around the corner. Please remember we need to stay focused for three full years beyond the last reported case.
- #19 STEPHANIE - In October, both Boards recognized that Rotary must keep up with an ever changing world. The fast-paced nature of our society creates even greater competition for our time, energy and resources. Therefore, as leaders in this organization, our energy must be focused on members having absolute certainty of the benefits and value of being a Rotarian. We must adapt. We must be prepared with a vision that will take Rotary into the next 100 years.
- #20 Our essence statement is only realized when we bring together leaders to exchange ideas and take action leaving a lasting impact in communities around the world.
- #21 We will look to our mission to guide the next steps, our values to keep true to what makes us Rotary, and a renewed vision to take us into the next 100 years.
- #22 As the chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, let me tell you how excited I am to be working with so many people to bring Rotary forward into the next century. The Board has asked our committee to work with all of the stakeholders in Rotary’s future, including all of you to: Take a hard look at how Rotary works today and where there might be opportunities to grow Define a vision for the future that inspires Rotarians around the world to action Work out a strategy and a plan that will support the successful achievement of that vision Develop a plan to measure our success along the way so we can communicate progress and make changes to the plan if necessary Look at a new structure for Rotary that can better support our forward-looking vision Assess Rotary’s capacity for change so we can ensure smooth transitions on the path to the Rotary of the future
- #23 JOE – Recap of presentation thus far and call to action: The vision will be tested throughout the Rotary world to ensure it is aligned with Rotarians’ interests Your feedback is critical to this process Today, we ask you to truly think outside of the box and share with us your greatest ideas for Rotary’s future Your input will be shared with the committee and boards as they work to develop a new vision so that Rotary can stay relevant and carry its message of Service above Self into the future for generations to come
