CLUB COMMITTEES
 
Club committees coordinate their efforts in order to achieve the club’s annual and long-range goals. The president-elect, president, and immediate past president work together to support continuity of leadership and succession planning.
 
Whenever it’s feasible, committee members should remain on a committee for three years to ensure consistency. The president-elect is responsible for appointing committee members to fill vacancies, appointing committee chairs, and conducting planning meetings before the start of the year in office. It is recommended that any committee chair have experience as a member of the committee. The RI Board recommends each club have the following committees:
 
  • Club Administration. Supports effective operation of the club. This club also has the major fundraising committees under the administration section.
  • Membership. Develops and implements a comprehensive plan for attracting and engaging members.
  • Public Relations. Develops and implements plans for providing the public with information about Rotary and promoting the club’s service projects and activities.
  • Service Projects. Develops and implements educational, humanitarian, and vocational projects that address the needs of the community and communities in other countries.
