A Club Vision Facilitation is a four hour evening session (typically
5:00-9:00) that assists Key leaders and interested members of a Rotary Club
in achieving continuity, consistency and consensus. The facilitation session
is intended for all interested Rotarians in your club-from your newest
members to your most tenured. The breadth and septh of the facilitation
exercise is optimized when club leaders (past, present and future) and
member opinion leaders participate. Our District 5020 vplunteer Vision
Facilitation Team typically commits approximately 25 hour of volunteer time
to each event and therefore expects:
- Attendance at the event by present board members, the current
president, president-elect, president-elect nominee, immediate
past-president, and two other past-presidents. Their collective
involvement is essential.
- Participants to commit to the entire 4-hour exercise.
- The number of Rotarians committed to a session will be no less than
12 for the smaller clubs but no more than 25 (to maintain the time
schedule and allow fair and full input from all present). For clubs over
40 menbers, our team expects attendance to be between 20 and 25. For
clubs over 80, we expect 25 members in attendance. NOTE: Given that the
Facilitation Team is volunteering their time and traveling to visit your
club, the Team has the latitude to reschedule should the above criteria
not be met. Each Club requesting a Vision Facilitation will designate a
"Coordinator" who will work with our District Vision Facilitation Chair
providing all the information and direction individual Rotarians will
need in preparation for the session.
During the Vision Facilitation session, a team of facilitator will lead a
process consisting of an overview presentation, a writing exercise, data
collection, consensus voting and summary with action plan development. There
are at least three measures of success for clubs that complete a Vision
Facilitation:
- An immediate measure of progress will be the members' pledge and
willingness to move the planning processes from a nice-to-do concept to
meaningful growth programs for the club, its members and its community.
- The second is that the output from this session is woven into the
annualy plans of the incoming ans succeeding Presidents. It will be
reflected in the continunity and consistency of programming and
leadership of your Club.
- Finally, the long-term mark of accomplishment will be at the end of
five years when your club advances from where it is to where it wants to
be. If you are interested in scheduling a Vision Facilitation for your
Club, please email Maureen Fritz-Roberts
