What hasn’t changed is our core values.
New vision statement result of consultation with over one million people.
Together we see the world where people unite and take action for lasting change - across the globe in our communities and in ourselves
Honour past and embrace future.
- Increase impact - relationships, evidence-based - mobilize networks for results that last.
- Expand our Reach - more people to unite with us.
Person to person involvement. - eg. Polio project with many stakeholders. - Enhance Participant Engagement — us! Members get more out of Rotary. A lot of training etc.
- Increase our ability to adapt. Find new ways to make lasting change in the world while we simplify how we operate. Whole structure of Rotary is being reviewed.
This year — Rotary connects the World
- Grow Rotary - increase membership - can do more and enhance public image and attract more members. More people left last year than any other year.
Do more - have an impact and that attracts more people.
Where there is Rotary - less poverty, disease, illiteracy.
We break the cycle of poverty through micro loans - break the soil to get fresh and clean water, and break the soul of polio vaccine and break and create barriers to girls education (separate washrooms) solar panels to provide light at night.
New membership models for those who cannot attend daytime meetings. Attend 12 meetings a year.... involve in projects and fundraising but cannot attend meetings. Build new Rotaract clubs. - Bring Families into Rotary. Bring spouses and kids! Foster culture of bringing family to Rotary.
- Viable path to Rotary Leadership.
- United Nations - 75th anniversary. Rotary has one of the highest status with UN.
Brad - goal of district governor - strive to help every Rotarian to have an impactful and fun year.
Wants you to get the most out of Rotary that you can.
