Dear Fellow Rotarians,
August is here, ushering in Membership and New Club Development month — a period for reflection, growth, and new beginnings. This is our moment to rejuvenate and innovate, asking ourselves how can we elevate the Rotary experience in District 7020 to be simply irresistible? Together, let us embark on this journey with renewed passion and unwavering dedication
Our district goals for the year:
- Increase Membership by 5%
- Establish 5 to 8 New Clubs (including Satellite, Interact, Rotaract, or Rotary Clubs)
Each and everyone of you has a vital role in ensuring we reach our goals. As we plan and implement activities designed to create meaningful change, it is essential that we ask ourselves some important questions to better tailor our interventions:
Community Engagement : how can we better serve our communities? Are we diving deeply into their needs and aspirations? Are we listening to our community leaders? Are we seeking to understand the pressing issues in education, health, sanitation, and economic development? Are we collaborating effectively with local businesses and media to amplify our efforts?
Member Satisfaction: Are we truly appreciating our members? Are we acknowledging their contributions through awards, certificates, and public recognition? Are we providing personal development opportunities like leadership and project management workshops? Are we encouraging participation in Rotary International conventions? What about regular social events? Are we fostering a supportive and joyful environment where everyone thrives?
Effective Communication: How can we keep everyone engaged and informed? Are we maintaining active and engaging social media profiles? Are we regularly updating our club’s website with news, events, and project progress? Are our monthly newsletters filled with valuable updates on club activities? Are we using email and messaging apps efficiently to keep everyone connected?
Community Partnerships: How can we magnify our impact through partnerships? Are we building strong relationships with local organizations, schools, and businesses? Are we seeking sponsorships and grants from larger corporations and foundations? Are we engaging the youth through the establishment and support of Rotaract and Interact clubs? How are we inspiring the next generation of Rotarians and cultivating future leaders? Are we working with other clubs to broaden our reach?
Feedback and Improvement: Are we continuously improving? Are we gathering input from our members and the community? Are we transparent in all operations, especially financial matters? How can we build trust and accountability, ensuring everyone feels involved and valued?
Innovative Projects: How can we revolutionize our initiatives? How can we better integrate the cutting-edge technology available to us? Are we leveraging digital literacy programs and telemedicine services to their fullest potential? What about sustainable projects? Are we focusing on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and clean water initiatives?
Once we have answered these questions, let us ensure that the events and activities we organize are not only aligned with, but also directly address the needs and problems identified by our communities. Our actions should reflect our deep understanding and commitment to making a tangible difference. By tailoring our initiatives to the specific challenges and aspirations of those we serve, we can amplify our impact and demonstrate the unwavering dedication of District 7020.
Furthermore, I want to emphasize the importance of the Membership Action Plan. The sessions are designed to be both lively and inspirational, providing valuable insights and strategies to enhance our clubs. I encourage you all to actively engage with these sessions and apply the learnings to make your clubs the most irresistible one, not just occasionally, but every single day of the year.
Let us move forward with renewed vigor and a collective spirit, ensuring that our efforts resonate deeply within our communities!
Let’s highlight District 7020's steadfast commitment and significant impact, recognizing and celebrating our members, and fostering strong community partnerships!
Together, we can make a difference, ensure a brighter future for our communities while achieving greatness and inspiring others to join us on this remarkable journey.
We are district 7020 and we are proud of it.
Dominique Bazin
District Governor,
Rotary International District 7020
