LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER!! DON'T PUT IT OFF REGISTER NOW
Hello All,
Every three years our club goes through a club visioning process and it is important to have a cross section of our membership. If you are interesting in being part of this club planning process please register. Below is a little info about a Club Visioning process is about. To assist in this process their is a Visioning Facilitation Team made up of members that have been trained and our volunteering their time to assist. Dinner will be served.
Just what is “Club Visioning?”
It is a dynamic management tool that:
- Defines a shared commitment.
- Provides long-term direction.
- Creates a framework to establish goals and objectives.
- Optimizes use of limited resources.
Why Clubs Need a Vision
“Rotary is not an organization for retrospection. It is rather one whose worth and purpose lie in future activity rather than past performance.” - Paul Harris
The idea of “Service Above Self” has been providing Rotarians with a reason for belonging since Rotary began. Today it permeates throughout the world as Rotary club after Rotary club meet on an ongoing basis to serve their communities and each other. However, as any Rotarian can tell you, each club is different. They are unique in how they go about their services, how they organize themselves, and how they are perceived by their communities and the Rotary District of which they belong.
So how does our club interpret “Service Above Self”? Without a conscious awareness of that unique interpretation, some clubs lose focus. To a club that has not defined who they are, what they stand for, and what they intend to do; anything and everything is an opportunity.
The Challenge
To gather many ideas (the dreams) and opportunities for the future from a cross representation of our membership and thencondense it down to the most important goals determined by our club (consensus) all within a very limited time frame. This is where an outside, neutral team of Rotary facilitators makes the difference.
The Outcomes
At the end of approximately a 3 hour process our club will have a clear vision of:
- What the club stands for in its community;
- The club’s target membership size in 3 years;
- Identification of the club’s attributes;
- Top 3 objectives for each Avenue of Service;
- Ways to improve club’s leadership development;
- Understanding of Club Leadership Plan
A club visioning session provides a vision for the future and the beginnings of a written plan that promotes consensus, consistency, and continuity. It will serve as a foundational piece for our club that wants to grow and to become even more effective than it already is.
I look forward to your involvement.
Debra
