Regionalisation - what will it mean?
The Project vision:
 
"To significantly increase the reach and impact of Rotary and Rotaract in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands". 
 
You may recall that in September, as a club we voted "yes" to the proposal for a pilot project to commence.  The pilot project is now underway with the next milestone, being the April Board meeting of the Board of Rotary International.  It is at that meeting that the proposed budget for the Pilot project will be assessed and approved (or not).
 
The pilot is planned to operate from July 2023 to June 2026 and will operate in parallel to our current operating structure which built around the concept of districts that are defined by geographical references.  The over arching goal of the project is to look at how we can make Rotary service to our communities easier, simpler and the governance and administrative detail more streamlined and less time consuming - in short, how to take us into the next 100 years of service to our communities.
