Secretary’s Role
• As Secretary, you are the link between your club and the rest of the Rotary world. You perform many vital functions for your club, the district and Rotary International. It is critical that these functions are both accurate and timely.

ADDING NEW MEMBERSto
RI and DaCdbAdhering to these “best practices” in adding members to both the District (DaCdb) and RI (My Rotary) databases will result in better data, less confusion, and accessible contact information on prospects. These steps should be done in order:
Step 1 – Add the new Member to Rotary International
Step 2 – Add the new Member to DaCdb (www.rotary7750.org/directory)
![Page 6: DISTRICT 7750 SECRETARY’S WORKSHOP Presented by District Secretary Dave Knapp Rotary Club of Simpsonville 864/757-9652.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da65503460f94a91c51/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Adding Prior Members
1. If you find the new member has been a member of another Rotary club, you can add him to your club, which retains the original RI Member Number
2. If you get a prompt that he’s still a member of the prior club, you’ll need to contact his club secretary to get him terminated from that club (through the RI Data Base). This precaution prevents a club from “poaching” other clubs’ members.
![Page 7: DISTRICT 7750 SECRETARY’S WORKSHOP Presented by District Secretary Dave Knapp Rotary Club of Simpsonville 864/757-9652.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da65503460f94a91c51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Adding Prior Members3. If the member has been a member of another D-7750 club, do not create a new record in DaCdb. Instead, contact [email protected] for assistance –
we will restore the previously terminated record in DaCdb, which will include the RI Member ID.
4. If the prior membership was outside D-7750, once the member has been added to your club, retrieve his RI number and add him to DaCdb
5. If you find that the person has been a member of more than one other club, contact The Rotary Foundation to have his prior Foundation contributions all moved to the “surviving” RI Member ID – the one you actually transferred to your
club. [email protected]
