Welcome
Club Visioning & Action Planning
Rotary District 7080’s Club Visioning & Action Planning is a process where individual Rotary Clubs identify their long-term goals and develop strategies to achieve them. It involves a facilitated session where members discuss the club's current state, desired future, and actionable steps to reach that vision. This process helps clubs develop a clear mission, revitalize member involvement, and create a roadmap for future success.
Previously this was known as "Strategic Planning". Rotarian Scott Hebert is the RD7080 Chair for Action Planning, and Rotarian Narciso Rodrigues is the RD7080 Chair for Club Visioning.
A NEW FORMAT AND A NEW PROCESS
Going forward, Scott and Narciso will be working together on both Action Planning and Club Visioning on the same day with individual clubs.
