Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail

“If you don’t know where you are going, chances are you will end up someplace else.” Yogi Berra

What organization do you know that can function

without a plan?

Successful Clubs

Sustain and increase membership

Implement successful service projects

Support The Rotary Foundation

Develop leaders in the club and beyond

Annual cycles break continuity, consistency and consensus.

Clubs end up “re-inventing the wheel” instead of moving forward with effective action steps.

PSST…do you want to know where you’re going?

Next Steps1. Find a Club Member to serve as Club Coordinator

2. Recruit 15 to 25 or 80% of Club Members (whichever is less) to commit to participate in a four hour Vision Formation Process

3. Follow up with a Club Assembly to share the results of the Vision Facilitation and gain Consensus of the Members

4. Develop Action Steps that are a result of your newly established Vision and Goals

Consider this

There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the

long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.”
