Administration

Administrating a Rotary Club effectively is very important. Effective administration means you will have more time for the fun side of being a Rotarian! What are the goals your club wants to achieve in the next year and in 3 to 5 years? Develop a plan, set achievable goals and decide how they will be achieved. The year ahead then takes on a purpose and members gain a sense of achievement and 'doing good' in their communities. 'Doing good' is why we become Rotarians.  The second part of this resource will give you some information on how to conduct effective club meetings. Hope you find it useful!

3.6. Visit by District governor

District Governor visits are important to your club:

    • To provide support to your club
    • Update on District activities, goals
    • Opportunity for your club to discuss your goals, achievements, concerns
    • Schedule the visit to coincide with a special event – induction ceremony, new member orientation program, award presentation

To prepare for the Governor’s visit:

    • Review your club’s progress towards goals
    • Reflect on member morale
    • Identify questions or concerns to discuss with governor
    • Organise reports from committees – plans, activities, accomplishments
