Beyond Your Year: Building a Stronger Future for Your Rotary Club
A successful Rotary club doesn’t happen one year at a time. While presidents, officers, and board members change, the club mission, priorities, and impact must carry forward.
This session will explore how Rotary leaders can move beyond simply planning for the year ahead and begin building a shared, multi-year direction for their club. We’ll look at practical ways to engage club leaders and members, identify stakeholders, establish meaningful priorities and goals, develop future leaders, and create an action plan that carries momentum from one leadership team to the next.
Whether your club already has a strategic plan or doesn’t know where to begin. You’ll lead with a simple framework to start the right conversations and help your club build a stronger, more sustainable future.
Facilitated by Mark Willis, Past President of the Gwinnett Rotary Club
