Theme this year: Rotary connects the world.
Rotary is changing; we won’t recognize it in 20 years.
Are we serving 100% of our community?
What do new Clubs look like?
⁃ Meet at different times, less often, not to always eat....
⁃ Joint meetings
⁃ Passport clubs meeting once/month
⁃ More flexible
⁃ More Rotaractors: There is no upper age limit for Rotaractors & No dues.
⁃ Our goal: to have 1 million Rotaractors
⁃ Clubs working together. Our Royal City Rotary Club and the Burnaby Club are a great example.
Rotary is a well kept secret.
Consider spending on PR and internal development?
Adding partners: Toastmasters = empowerment
Networking
New websites & communication methods
Know you projects and your fundraising so we can do PR, so we can do more for our community and District.
We need to redouble our Polio efforts because we have 78 cases last year, compared to 33 the year before.
Women in Rotary: growing, more leadership roles.
Thank you
