In 2008, the Rotary Club of West Jacksonville adopted the Rotary Club Leadership Plan.
Overview of the Club Leadership Plan from Rotary International:
The Club Leadership Plan is the recommended administrative structure for Rotary clubs. It is based on the best practices of effective Rotary clubs. Because each Rotary club is unique, the Club Leadership Plan is flexible enough to support the individual needs of clubs around the world. Although it isn’t mandatory for any club to adopt the Club Leadership Plan, every Rotary club, new and old, can benefit from standardizing its administrative procedures based on these best practices:
- Develop long-range goals that address the elements of an effective club.
- Set annual goals that support long-range goals.
- Make sure that all club members feel involved and informed.
- Keep the lines of communication open, both in the club and with the district.
- Ensure continuity in leadership from year to year.
- Customize the bylaws to reflect club operations.
- Provide regular fellowship opportunities.
- Actively involve all club members.
- Offer regular, consistent training.
