Available Club Awards for 2021-2022 Announced
 
As we get closer to the end of the current Rotary year on June 30, club officers need to be thinking about recognizing their club and individual Rotarians for outstanding accomplishments.  Dave Duskin, District Awards Chair, has released a list of awards that are available for the 2021-2022 Rotary year. Included is a new award entitled the “People of Action Award.”
 
To complement the Rookie of the Year Award, the People of Action Award is to honor up to five Rotarians in the District who has a longer term of service, and who has taken action to create lasting change in their communities and the world. 
In addition to the Rookie of the Year and the People of Action Awards, a Club may be nominated for the following “Best of the District Awards” in the following categories:
  • Community Project
  • International Project
  • Multi-Club Service Project
  • Innovative Fundraising Project
  • Website
  • Bulletin/Newsletter
  • Use of Social Media
  • Telling the Rotary Story (Public Image)
  • Proactive and creative initiative in attracting and retaining members
Based on figures provided by Rotary International, Clubs will also be recognized in the following membership categories: Most New Members, Most New Women Members, Most New Members Under 40, and Highest Retention Percentage.  All membership awards will be based on the percentage of a Club’s total membership.
 
Winners of all the awards will be announced on 17 July at the installation of the District’s officers and directors for 2022-2023 Rotary year. To give the selection committee time to review all the nominations, the nomination forms must be emailed and received by the Awards Chair no later than 30 June.
