District 5050 Vision Training Session
Posted by Gary O'Rielly on Mar 28, 2017
Vision Training: Our District 5050 Vision Training session team on March 23rd consisted of Pat Bond, Bill Gorman, Lynn Spence and Valerie Tibbetts. Twelve of our thirty-five members participated in the Vision Training session at the Lake Stevens Senior Center.
Basically we were told that the purpose of "why" a Vision Training session is needed is to look into the future and determine where we are going and "what" we want to accomplish in the next 5, 10, 15 and 50 years. Vision process involves continuity of leadership, consistency in programming, consensus which is part of the Vision process.
We were told that the Planning Steps include a Vision Plan, followed by a Long Range Plan and Action steps to be taken. There are nine steps for implementing the Club Leadership Plan.
According to our facilitators, Standing Committees are recommended even for smaller clubs. The Club Strategic Plan sets out our values in action. It should involve an integrated planning effort involving Rotary's central purpose. The Vision process should be bold and outside the bold, suspending the practical side with the frame of mind being five years.
From the Vision Session, we were given four requirements to complete the Vision session which will be followed by a Strategic Planning session in the very near future.
A big "thank you" to Tracy for providing her "world" famous soup and to Joyce for her world class salad, bread and treats. Jim H brought the flip chart stands and the projector and Randy picked up some of the supplies for us to use during the dinner etc. Thanks so much to everyone involved in the process. We look forward to sharing with the rest of the club members.
