Thank you Governor Joe…..you see we may be governors for a year but we move on to other assignments. And now let’s break for lunch.
I’d like to take a few minutes to share my membership philosophy with you. As I said earlier, we are all here because we were invited. While recruitment is important, I truly believe if we close the back door we would have a membership increase. Having spent years recruiting and training personnel, from a cost standpoint, it is always less expensive to keep the ones you have. In addition, they become more valuable the longer they stay. They become strong advocates for Rotary and true assets. Think about that special feeling your have when you do something good….wouldn’t you like to share it with others? So be sure your club members are involved so they can experience it too. And what other organization will give not only you but your family the opportunity to have experiences of a lifetime by eradicating polio, providing clean water, medical supplies and medicines to women and children, providing literacy projects, and supporting peace scholars. So many of us say that our best friends are Rotarians, we not only do projects with them, but socialize with them and travel with them. What skills have you not only brought to rotary but also what has Rotary done for you personally. So I truly believe that membership in Rotary is a gift. Now, for the next 25 minutes our assistant governors with lead you in a table discussion with respect to membership.
Hi, for those of you who don’t know me I’m Mike Cloutier from the Rotary Club of Oakland. I’m the original architect of the District’s Youth Protection Program and the current Assistant District Abuse Prevention Coordinator.Please hold any questions until after the presentation is complete. Thanks!Our theme for the next Rotary year is “Engage Rotary, Change Lives” and there is probably no more fulfilling way to change lives that through the District’s New Generations programs.
Because of an ineffective sexual harassment prevention program and his own lack of action to correct and eliminate problems, this man’s rich legacy will be forever over shadowed by the unforgivable actions of a subordinate. Don’t let this happen to Rotary! Our District’s Youth Protection program is the underlying foundation for all of our New Generation programs.
Click -- The Club Certification Form is a testament that during your year as Club President, your Club will follow the requirements of the RI and District Youth Protection Policies.Click -- The form requires your signature, and that of your New Generations Chair. Please remember that your New Generations Chair and Club Youth Protection Officer must be fully Certified under the Youth Protection Policies. Click -- Two signatures, five minutes, done!
As Club President – Lead by Example.Click -- If you really wanted to get this done fast, it will probably take less than 3 hours. You can do the four items in any order, but let’s start in a logical order.Click -- There are two on line courses that are located on the District Web Site. Each of these courses will take no longer than 45 minutes to complete. You read the material, and then take the test (70% minimum to pass) and then make sure you hit the submit key to pass it along to the Youth Protection System. 1.5 hours Click -- Next, complete the Youth Protection Volunteer Affidavit Form (VAF), including the listing of three references. Please let the references know that someone will be calling to ask them a few questions. When complete give the VAF to your clubs Youth Protection Officer (and please make sure you have a Youth Protection Officer) and he/she will ask you a few questions, and then contact your references to complete the process. Time 15 minutes.Click --Finally, LiveScan. First please make sure that you do not ask for the FBI LiveScan, just the Department of Justice. Complete the LiveScan Form, and be sure you put your club name on the form. Then take it to a LiveScan location to have your fingerprints taken. Time 1 hour including drive time.
Your Club YPO’s basic job is to monitor the members of your club with regards to their training and Certification. The requirements are listed in the Youth Protection Training matrix, but most Club members will fall into one of two categories: First, all Rotarians and other Volunteers who have contact with youth in a Rotary context must complete the Youth Protection Awareness course. For example, if they are in the speech contest meeting, they must complete the Awareness course.Second, any Rotarian who will have one-on-one contact with youth in a Rotary context, and members of Club or District New Generation committees must be fully certified.That’s it! It isn’t rocket science, it’s simply taking each step one at a time. So please don’t delay, get this out of your way now. Doing so will ensure that you understand the requirements, and eliminate the need for many emails and phone calls.
I want to take a few minutes to talk about partners in service. All of your clubs have had over the past 9 years a visitor from another country who was the program for one of your October meetings. This will occur again this year, and as soon as we have the exact dates we will advise you but in the meanwhile alert your program chair of this.
We’ve asked past club leaders for tips to help get your year off to a good start. Here are some of their suggestions :• Plan early, keeping continuity in mind• Continue to support past projects that carry on into your year• Fill your team positions as early as possible• Never be afraid to delegate – you can’t know or do everything yourself• Remember your resources and ask your club, district, and zone level leaders for advice• Become acquainted with your counterparts at the district training meetings• Consult new members as a sounding board and old ones for historical knowledge• Prepare three short speeches on general Rotary topics that can be adapted to the situation• Don’t forget to say thank you – people appreciate being appreciated• Remember that planning is key, but action is where the service is• Have fun!But most of all remember you have the leadership skills and ability to Engage Rotary, Change Lives That’s why I’m suggesting you develop a 1 to 2 minute story that is close to your heart and share it.
