The board of West Bay Rotary is responsible for oversight and delegation of tasks associated with completion of the five strategic priorities over the next three years.
THE FIVE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
1. Support and Strengthen Club Membership
- Develop a recruitment and retention work plan each year with specific goals and objectives and focus toward outreach and engagement with young professionals and other prospective members.
- Increase and diversify fellowship opportunities to involve more members.
- Develop service opportunities that allow members to get actively involved.
- Enhance club education via return of “Rotary Minute” to weekly meeting.
2. Fine-Tune our Fundraising Events
- To continue to strengthen our core fund raising including timing of events.
- Develop a strategy that will increase participation by members in events – promoting fellowship while sharing workload.
- Review how events are structured.
3. Enhance our Rotary Foundation efforts
- Increase frequency of creative information presentations re: The Rotary Foundation Programs and Awards to educate members.
- Define and implement club process for grant submissions and monitoring.
- Promote WBR club foundation.
4. Improve Governance Structure and Processes
- Develop job descriptions for all Committee and Board positions. Use existing WBR Organizational Structure document and RI guides as a starting point.
- Establish a comprehensive and consistent succession planning and training process for all committee & event chairs.
- Clarify Board membership for purpose of voting.
- Establish Meeting Program Plan for Future (every member needs to become more involved in identifying speakers).
5. Strengthen Community Service efforts
- Conduct an annual review of community needs.
- Solicit member involvement in project recommendations (especially non-construction projects) & identify methods to increase membership involvement.
- Define, document and educate membership on WBR grant program.
MONITORING RECOMMENDATIONS:
- A strategic planning monitoring committee comprised of current President (who will Chair), Secretary, Treasurer and up to 3 past presidents, meets at least twice during Rotary year to monitor status of the strategic plan initiatives and progress is reported out at club assemblies.
- Every three years the Board convenes a strategic planning committee (chaired by the president elect) to update the plan for the next three years.
