DG Bermingham went through a short presentation talking about themes for 2021-22 Theme 1: Rotary is People of Action. People unite and work together to create lasting change. Our District 7090 will continue to pursue this. Theme 2: Expand Our Reach– explore Satellite Clubs as an option. Can also look at adding Rotaract as well. Theme 3: Engaging Participants – different initiatives will be undertaken – Center for Coaching, Rotary 101, Rotary Webtalks, etc. Theme 4: Adapt & Innovate –this involves a simplified grant process, ongoing help to keep websites and social media relevant, revising how we govern, and short term and new generations service exchange. DG Anne then assigned each Rotarian to a break out room to explore: Group 1: Impact - what are you doing to impact and serve your community (causes you are giving time or money to); what are you doing internationally to do good in the world. Group 2: Reach - share more about how you are reaching out to new potential Rotarians, Rotaracters, younger or more diversified demographics to help on projects or be part of club Group 3: Engagement - What are you doing well to engage your current members & their families? How about members of the Rotary family? Alumni? Former exchange students or others touched by your club? Group 4: Adapt - What are some changes you have made in the last few years to evolve your club? Changes in meeting format? Changes in social media strategies? The breakout groups then reported out to the members. |
