Representativesatthe2013CouncilonLegislationonWednesday approved a US$1-a-year increase inpercapitaduesthatclubspaytoRotaryInternational,startingin2014-15.
The increase was proposed by the RI Board of Directors based on a five-year financial forecastpresented to the Board last week and shared with delegates on Sunday. According to the forecast, iftherewerenoduesincrease,RI’sdeficitwouldgrowto$9millionin2018andreducetheGeneralSurplusFund below the level required in the RI Bylaws.
With thedues increase, thedeficitwill fall to$5million in 2018, according to the forecast, and thesurplusfundwillthenstandat$88million,abovethemandated level.
Supporters of the dues increase maintain that it willbesufficienttokeeppacewithinflationwithoutnecessitatingcutbacksinservice.DuesaretheprimarysourceoffundingforRotary’soperations.

DelegatesfromRotary’s532districtsaremeetingin Chicago 21-26 April to consider 174 proposals submittedbyRotaryclubs,districts,andtheBoardofDirectors — for changes to the policies that govern RotaryInternationalanditsclubs.Thecouncilisheldevery three years.

Increased the number of clubs that can take part inpilotprojectsto1,000,upfromthepreviouslimitof 200. The RI Board uses pilot projects,which lastforup tosixyears, to testnew ideas,methods,andorganizational frameworks for clubs.Pilot clubs that
take part in these experiments are fully functioningRotary clubs that are exempt from some requirements intheStandardRotaryClubConstitution.
Approved a measure allowing Rotarians outside theUnitedStatesandCanadatoreceiveanelectronicversion of their official Rotary regional magazine, ifoneisavailable.RotarianswithintheUnitedStatesandCanadawereallowedtheoptionofreceivingadigitalversion of The Rotarian by the 2010 Council.
Approved changing the name of Rotary’s FifthAvenueofService,currentlycalledNewGenerations,to Youth Service. The 2010 Council on Legislationapprovedthisavenueofserviceforyouth,whichjoinedRotary’s Four Avenues of Service (Club, Vocational,Community, and International). The name NewGenerationswasmeanttoreflecttheneedtobuildupthe next generation of Rotarians, but proponents ofthe name change argued on Wednesday that the word “youth” is more universally understood, both insideand outside Rotary, and clarifies the fact that theseprograms encourage Rotarians to empower youth.
Approved allowing a district to have an unlimited numberofe-clubs,removingapreviousrestrictionoftwo e-clubs per district. E-clubs meet electronically,conductserviceprojects,andsometimesalsoholdin-personmeetings.
Approved a measure, aimed at increasingmembership, thatprovides for satellite clubs,whosemembersmeetatadifferenttimeand locationfromtheir parent club but who are also considered members of the parent club.
Approved a measure allowing participationin club projects to count toward club attendancerequirements. The measure amends the Standard Rotary Club Constitution to provide that a membermust attend ormake up at least 50 percent of clubregularmeetingsorengageinclubprojectsforatleast12hoursineachhalfoftheyear,oracombinationofboth.
Removed the travel reimbursement policy from the RI Bylaws. This will enable the RI Board of Directors to develop a policy that is flexible, able toaddressemergencytravelsituations,andabletotakeadvantageofcost-savingopportunities.
Defeated two measures that would have allowed clubs to meet less frequently. The delegates also rejected a measure that would have allowed a club tocancelsix regularmeetingsayear insteadof four,forholidays,thedeathofaclubmember,disasters,orother emergencies.
