sylvia whitlockTo: All Presidents-elect (2012-2013 presidents)

Welcome to the PE Excellence Preview Opportunity! This weekly preview will provide you with information to facilitate your success as a 2012-2013 Club President. It will come in small portions and will be available in QuickNotes as well as the Highlighter. It will be interactive so that you may ask me questions as well as respond to the questions I will ask at the end of each section - questions designed to help you plan your year. I will make sure you have a Calendar, kept current, with timely reminders, and at the end of the series, you should be well on your way to having a complete Planning Guide, committees all identified and in place, and good to go! All I ask is that you continue to access PEEP and do the short exercises.  Please share with this year's president and ask about some of the answers you do not have.  Some of this may be new to you and to the previous president.  Together you can create a strategy for making things happen!  I will also welcome suggestions for any additions or changes. My obligation is to support you and I want to do that in the best way I can.

Yours in rotary,
Sylvia Whitlock, Governor Elect
Effective Rotary Clubs 

 

The primary role of the club president is to be the club leader and ensure that the club is functioning effectively.  To be effective, clubs must be able to:

 

Sustain or increase their membership base

 

Implement successful projects that address the needs of their community and communities in other countries

 

Support The Rotary Foundation through both program participation and financial contributions

 

Develop leaders capable of serving in Rotary beyond the club level

Club Leadership Plan
Since November 2004, the Club Leadership Plan has been the recommended administrative framework for Rotary clubs.  The Club Leadership Plan is not mandatory.  Clubs can use the Club Leadership Plan to develop:

 

Continuity and consensus in projects, decision making, and goal setting

 

A larger supply of well-trained leaders in the club

 

Increased membership involvement

 

A strategic plan to guide the work of the club
