Club Secretaries - You can set up a Synchronization between your website Member Records and the DataBase with Rotary International

After a few months of trial, several clubs in District 6450 have been successfully synchronizing their Club Express / District Sponsored member data bases with Rotary International.  Set up is relatively easy but the 'member number' in your website needs to match the Rotary International number that each member has for the synchronization to work.

Please find in this document the full instructions: Enabling Club Express to Syncrhonize with Rotary International

Strategic Plan 2013-2016 Announced by District Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Rotary International District 6450 is pleased to announce the adoption of “The Way Forward", Strategic Plan 2013-16.  The plan is the result of six months of conversation with Rotarians throughout the district.  Working with consultants, district leadership listened to club members via survey data as well as focus group discussions to assemble a three year plan that addresses the stated needs of Rotary Clubs and Rotarians in District 6450.  The plan includes a structure designed to accomplish its goals and objectives, and is accompanied by strategies and a scorecard by which our progress can be measured.

The Way Forward is now available for your reading on the District 6450 website (please click on graphic).  The 2013-16 Strategic Plan is a living document that will guide our work together for the next three years  As such, it will be regularly evaluated and revised as needed.  It’ s purpose is to strengthen clubs and foster collaborative community by developing inspired and effective leaders.  The Way Forward is an opportunity for our district to distinguish itself through club support, leadership growth, and relevant communication.

Direct questions or comments to District Governor-Elect Cliff Lyda.
