2022 COUNCIL ON LEGISLATION OF ROTARY INTERNATIONAL REPORT OF ACTION
10-14 April 2022 | Chicago, Illinois, USA
ROTARY’S ACTION PLAN - REPORT OF ACTION from John Hewko, 34 pages
Rotary’s Action Plan builds on our past successes and sets our future direction to ensure that we continue to grow, unite people, and make a lasting impact.
We encourage all members to review the Action Plan, think about your own club and district goals, and find meaningful ways to align those goals with our plan.
Have open and ongoing discussions in your club and throughout your district about the new priorities and objectives, then use those talks to shape your own strategies. For each of the four priorities that will direct our work, we’ve listed ways you can put that goal into practice.
Think about how you can bring Rotary’s Action Plan to life.
