Notes de l'éditeur
- Action Groups and Fellowships are in a powerful position to support Rotary’s strategic objectives by: Allowing meaningful engagement opportunities beyond the traditional club model, which is needed for strong membership engagement and growth. Providing connection opportunities for Rotarians, their families, and alumni, who share a hobby, profession, or passion (surfing, doctors, LGBT, environment, peace, health education). These groups show the many faces of Rotary and increase its appeal. Leveraging their expertise and network that enhance impact of Rotary-led projects.
- RAG are internationally organized groups of Rotarians, Rotarians’ family members, Rotary program participants and alumni, who have expertise or passion in a specific service area. They use their expertise to help clubs and districts plan and implement large-scale community development and humanitarian service projects in the area of their expertise.
- RAG are internationally organized groups of Rotarians, Rotarians’ family members, Rotary program participants and alumni, who have expertise or passion in a specific service area. They use their expertise to help clubs and districts plan and implement large-scale community development and humanitarian service projects in the area of their expertise.
- RAGs enhance Rotary’s impact and public image By joining RAGs, your club members will be able to connect with likeminded Rotarians outside their own club and engage in service activities in the areas that they are most passionate about. By allowing opportunities to connect and serve outside the club structure, RAGs help diversify and improve the Rotary experience of your club members. Also, RAGs can help clubs scale up smaller projects to larger, higher impact, more sustainable international initiatives as they bring technical expertise, partners, funds, and other resources to projects. These high impact projects advances a club’s public image first and foremost and helps develop stronger clubs with more engaged members pioneering innovative, impactful service projects.
- Rotary Fellowships are international, independently organized groups of Rotarians, family members of Rotarians, and program participants and alumni who share a common hobby, recreational interest, or profession. Rotary Fellowships give their members the opportunity to have fun, make new friends around the world, and enhance their experience in Rotary.
