Strategic Planning

2002-2003

Mission

Rotary Club 13 provides four avenues of service for each Rotarian:

· Club Service – strengthening Club 13 and fostering relationships among our members, other Rotary clubs in GKC, and those in our Rotary district;

· Vocational Service – encouraging professional interaction among Rotarians and high ethical standards in business;

· Community Service – providing financial and volunteer support for operating The Rotary Youth Camp; financial and/or volunteer support for district programs and initiatives; and other volunteer activities strategically aligned with civic and Rotary priorities.

· International Service – contributing financial and volunteer support for Rotary International’s programs and initiatives.

Vision

Rotary Club 13 will epitomize the ideal of “Service Above Self” to elevate human understanding, foster goodwill among people, and achieve peace among nations.

Values

All that Club 13 members say and do passes The 4-Way Test:

· Is it the TRUTH?

· Is it FAIR to all concerned?

· Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

· Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Objectives

Rotary Club 13 will pursue the following objectives during the next three years while retaining the capacity to support each President’s goals, Rotary International initiatives, and new opportunities that achieve the Mission, Vision, and Values.

1. Strengthen committees through realignment, succession planning, improved communications and operations, increased member involvement, and maximized volunteer capacity.

2. Identify and implement a technology plan that ultimately reduces cost of communications and operations while improving effectiveness organization-wide.

3. Determine the appropriate range of membership expectations and align organization recruitment, operations, and communications to ensure that goals and objectives are accomplished.

4. Establish and implement a comprehensive marketing plan that increases awareness about our community impact, fuels membership recruiting and sustenance, promotes existing programs, supports Rotary International initiatives, and cooperates with other Rotary clubs in the district for mutual benefit.

5. Create a process for evaluating current and prospective fundraising efforts; identify and implement new mission-aligned fundraising programs that will sustain the club’s operational and service objectives.

6. Plan and implement an assessment with leadership from our most significant beneficiary, The Rotary Youth Camp, to identify ways we can provide maximum service and impact.

7. Identify opportunities to build collaborative relationships between our club and downtown KC, and implement partnerships that align with mission and vision.
