YOUR CLUB COULD APPLY FOR THE INNOVATIVE AND FLEXIBLE CLUB PILOT

Dear club officers,

The RI Board of Directors is expanding the Innovative and Flexible Club pilot from 200 to 1,000 clubs beginning 1 July 2015 through 30 June 2017.

Feedback from Rotary surveys and focus groups has shown that prospective and current members wish for flexibility to become or stay involved with a Rotary club. The Board would like more supporting data on how allowing clubs flexibility affects membership and club operations.

The Innovative and Flexible Club pilot, will evaluate the impact of various changes to meeting format, leadership structure, membership qualifications and requirements on a club’s ability to sustain and increase membership, implement successful programs and service projects, and support The Rotary Foundation.

The deadline for submitting a pilot application form is 31 March 2015. Club and district officers will be notified of clubs selected to participate in June 2015.

To participate in this pilot, your club must:

  • Have chartered before 30 June 2010
  • Be in good financial standing
  • Have at least 20 members
  • Not be participating in other RI membership pilots

HOW TO APPLY

  1. Print or save the Innovative and Flexible Club pilot guidelines.
  2. Use the Word document to gather the information for the online application. Rotary International will not accept paper applications.
  3. After you have gathered the information and signatures on the Word document, complete the online application form. Don’t forget to attach the voting certificate and signature page to your online application form.
