Club ExtensionKevin Mays, Chair
The district extension committee works under the direction of the
governor to develop and implement a plan to organize new Rotary clubs
within the district. Committee members - Identify
communities without Rotary clubs that have a population capable of
meeting the requirements for
chartering a new club
- Identify communities where additional
Rotary clubs could be established without detracting from existing clubs
- Assist in organizing and establishing new clubs
Starting a New ClubFor Rotary to continue its vital humanitarian work and
expand its service to communities at home and abroad, its membership
base must grow. In recent years, charter members of new Rotary clubs
have been the primary means of Rotary's membership growth.
Consider starting a new club if
- A local community that can support a club does not have a club
- An existing Rotary club is facing meeting-space constraints
- Alternative meeting times would benefit different groups within
the community
Requirements
District governors are responsible for approving and overseeing the
process of starting a new club, including appointing a special
representative to guide the organization of the club.
Those interested in organizing a new Rotary club should contact
their district governor and Club
and District Support representative. New clubs should be mentored
for two to three years after being chartered.
New clubs must
- Adopt the Standard
Rotary Club Constitution
- Have a minimum of 20 charter members
- Elect officers
- Pay a charter fee
- Hold weekly meetings
- Choose a club name
- Be approved by the RI Board of Directors
The district
extension committee assist in organizing and establishing new
clubs and in identifying communities for chartering new clubs.
