The day-to-day operation of an effective and vibrant Rotary club is multi-faceted. From governance, administration, procedures, meeting practices, planning, project management, membership recruitment, marketing and public relations to leadership and the general social and behavioural aspects that come with a group of people working together as volunteers. It can all seem pretty daunting.
District 9800 has, however, a manual that is a practical guide to providing information on many, but not all, of the Rotary procedures arising in the course of a Rotary club’s operations. It is intended to assist the office bearers and board members with their approach to club administration. It is also a useful tool for all club members and in particular, those who may be considering taking on a club leadership or board role.
The contents of the manual represent an accumulation of precedents extracted from board decisions and rulings of a typical Rotary club. It supplements the Rotary International Manual of Procedure; Rotary Code of Policies and the Club’s own Rules and By-Laws and other Rotary International official publications.
Contributions and amendments to the manual are encouraged so that it remains a “living” document in keeping with changes that occur within Rotary and its audience over time.
