RI BOARD NOTES

At its January meeting, the RI Board of Directors weighed in on several topics related to New Generations. Here are a few of the Board’s decisions:
  • Club presidents and district governors-elect are encouraged to appoint New Generations committees to develop, implement, and support New Generations activities.
  • Because service is an essential component of all New Generations programs, clubs and districts should include a service learning dimension in RYLA and Youth Exchange, as well as in Interact and Rotaract, to promote leadership and team-building skills, tolerance, and commitment to social responsibility.
  • District Rotaract representatives and sponsor Rotary clubs should encourage Rotaract club officers, directors, and committee chairs to attend district-level leadership training meetings.
In addition, the Board decided that it will not amend the age range for Rotaract members and will not collect annual dues from Rotaract clubs. These decisions grew out of recommendations from the 2011 Rotaract Council.
