Source material
Current playbook index title and category plus an internally authored detailed-guide draft

Initiative-specific development wave

How this draft was developed

These sources support general principles for meaningful participation, continued member value and privacy-minimal information collection; they are not an endorsement of the named Member Milestone Map initiative or this local map and support model.

Primary references consulted

Candidate District material consulted

These records remain draft evidence and still need a human source decision.

  • Club Playbook - Theme 2
    Candidate record 71 Member Milestone Map is a literal current-title match and provides the broad visual member-journey concept. It does not supply non-linear choice, private ownership, no-ranking, no-decision-use, member-controlled sharing, barrier-response or deletion controls.

Theme 2 source-assurance wave

What has been checked

  • 3 current primary pages used by this guide were reopened on 9 August 2026.
  • 3 attributed source claim(s) were mapped to their bounded use in this initiative.
  • Candidate District material remains separate and does not establish this result.
See each source's scope and limit
  • Engage Emerging Leaders
    Supports: Member-centred discovery, mentoring, feedback, emerging-leader support and club-health review principles during renewal.
    Does not establish: That a person is ready for office, should be selected, has consented to a role or that a proposed renewal pathway will work locally.
  • Deliver Continued Value
    Supports: The 49 attributed Theme 2 claims attached to this source, limited to the implementation elements and supporting documents named in each initiative-level claim mapping.
    Does not establish: That the initiative is endorsed by Rotary International or District 9510, that it is permitted by the club's governing documents, that members want it, that it suits the local club, or that it will achieve the intended outcome.
  • Chapter 3: APP 3 Collection of solicited personal information
    Supports: Data-minimisation, collection-purpose, proportionality and consent safeguards where the Privacy Act and APP 3 apply.
    Does not establish: Whether a particular Rotary club is an APP entity or whether a proposed renewal survey, diagnostic or member record is lawful in its actual circumstances.

What still needs a person to confirm

  • Confirm the member, prospective-member, past-member and community needs, preferences and consent that the local design assumes.
  • Confirm which privacy, safeguarding, incorporated-association, charity, work health and safety, food, liquor, copyright, licensing, screening and other duties apply to the club and the activity.
  • Test accessibility, cultural safety, belonging, language and alternative participation routes with affected people and recognise First Nations cultural authority rather than inferring suitability from the guide.
  • Confirm every local fact, starting point, cost, role, current service contact, measure, stopping condition and platform capability before the club decides to proceed.
  • Confirm the authority and current scope of each primary source, resolve login-gated or moved-page references and keep any candidate District material attributed and unapproved until its source decision is made.

The source-verification release gate remains closed.

Checks still on hold

Still an internal draft: source interpretation, local suitability, accessibility, governance and editorial approval remain open checks.

What could this idea change?

It makes a wider range of contributions visible and strengthens the club's culture of appreciation.

It may suit: Members and volunteers whose contributions may be recognised, and the people nominating or celebrating them.

Could this work in our club?

  • Consider Member Milestone Map when valuable contributions are going unnoticed or recognition depends too heavily on the same informal networks.
  • Members who choose their own current interests, past milestones and next experiments and decide whether anything is shared with a mentor or leader.
  • A map with several pathways including service, relationships, club knowledge, community connection, leadership, wellbeing, learning and flexible participation.
  • A club ready to remove access barriers and create opportunities in response to aggregate themes rather than monitoring individuals.

Before you start

  • A member-choice charter stating that the map is private, optional, non-linear and excluded from performance, appointment and membership decisions.
  • A varied milestone menu written as examples, with blank space for member-defined milestones and no required pace or destination.
  • A private storage and sharing model in which the member controls access, corrections, deletion and every support conversation.
  • An aggregate-learning method that does not expose small groups or individuals and a club response route for missing opportunities and barriers.

At the end: At the 90-day review, compare the recorded measures with the starting point, resolve the listed governance holds and tell participants whether Member Milestone Map will change, continue or stop.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
