Why not use a businesslike approach
to running our projects?
Look round the tables at our meetings and the room is full of members who have successfully run highly successful businesses. I am sure shop-floor decisions were not made by committees, but by a manager and experienced staff.
Members have volunteered to manage the various projects , and we have allocated other members with an interest in particular projects to help them.
Fraser has emailed project managers asking them to report on progress with planning and recommending teams to get together at the meeting on Monday. Some of the project names may not be correct and a number of other projects have been missed so let's fix that.
Background
In an effort to provide all our members with satisfaction from their membership of Rotary, we have asked them to indicate the projects they would be prepared to help manage.
It can be frustrating for members who join Rotary with a desire to serve and not be given an opportunity. Rotary members are people who are active in or retired from management and administration roles of their chosen profession; they have a vast range of skills and experience for the club to utilize.
The intention is to give all members a meaningful and rewarding job organising projects in which they are particularly interested.
The Club directory booklet has the initial try to allocate positions according to the survey results. Those who indicated their willingness to manage projects in most cases have been given that responsibility. Most of the bigger projects will require all members to assist when asked for their support.
Please speak-up if your name doesn't appear or you wish to help organise another project or better still a new one.
Thanks everyone
President, Neville
