| 2010 RI Convention |
Rotarians from all over the world will be attending the RI Convention
in
Montréal, Québec, Canada, 20-23 June. The convention is a great way to
network with fellow Rotarians and find out what clubs are doing
around the globe. Register online through Member Access,
or download a
registration form. If
this is your first RI Convention, consider attending an orientation for first-time
attendees on Saturday, 19 June, 09:00-10:00 and
14:00-15:00. |
| RI Strategic Plan | Did you
know that RI has a revised
strategic plan? Consider incorporating a
discussion about the plan at your upcoming district assembly, and encourage
assistant
governors to promote it during their club visits. |
| Social Networking | Rotarians are connecting
worldwide on Rotary’s YouTube,
LinkedIn,
Twitter,
and Facebook
pages. You can also use these sites to find links to
current Rotary news, videos, and discussions from around the world.
More
and more training professionals are investigating how social networking
sites can provide opportunities for informal learning. For on-the-go
people who can learn anywhere, these sites have a lot of potential. Read
more about Rotary’s involvement in social networking. |
| Your Voice, Your Solution | A new club has
just formed in the neighboring
community, and your assistant governor has asked your club to be the
sponsor. Where do you go from here? Addyour
solution.
Last month, many of you
contributed your solutions to the problem of what to do if you’re
worried about your club’s future. Read
your colleagues' suggestions. Rotary International's online
problem-solving forum gives Rotarians the
opportunity to exchange solutions and ideas. At the end of the month,
you and your fellow Rotarians will have generated a collection of best
practices that can be used by club presidents for
years to come. |
| Training Tip | To
innovate is to introduce something new or make changes in anything
established. Innovation is key to ensuring that your club remains strong
for years to come. Is it time for your Rotary club to be innovative?
Here are
a few ideas to get started: - Survey all your club’s members
to see what they like and don’t like about the club, and what
suggestions they have for changes.
- Ask your club board members
to attend at least one other local club meeting this month as a guest
and
discuss what they observed.
- Participate in LinkedIn or other
social networking forums (see article above) to get ideas from Rotary
club
members around the world.
