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 Rotary community action, supported volunteering and controlled use of personal information; they are not an endorsement of the named Project Team Recognition initiative or evidence for any project outcome, contribution or claim.
Primary references consulted
Our Clubs(Rotary International) Used for: Rotary clubs bring people together to connect and take action in their communities.
National Standards for Volunteer Involvement(Volunteering Australia) Used for: Volunteer involvement should be inclusive, supported and connected to clear organisational responsibility.
Chapter 6: APP 6 Use or Disclosure of Personal Information(Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) Used for: Personal information should not be reused or disclosed beyond the understood purpose without an applicable basis.
Candidate District material consulted
These records remain draft evidence and still need a human source decision.
Club Playbook - Theme 2 Candidate record 77 Project Team Shoutouts provides the related end-of-project public-thanks concept. It is not a literal current-title match and does not supply partner closeout, full-role mapping, workload, no-ranking, contributor choice, impact-evidence, correction or record 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
Our Clubs Supports: The 21 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.
National Standards for Volunteer Involvement Supports: The 32 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: The club's local need, legal position, capability, cost, safety, accessibility, suitability, likely effectiveness, authority to act or approval of the initiative.
Chapter 6: APP 6 Use or Disclosure of Personal Information Supports: The 21 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: Whether the Privacy Act or another duty applies to this club, whether consent is informed and valid, whether collection or publication is authorised, or whether the proposed safeguards are sufficient in the 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
The club and partner must complete project, outcome, incident, complaint, asset and unfinished-work closeout before public recognition.
Recognition must not rank hours or people, mask workload or safety issues or affect future appointment and membership decisions.
Contributors and partners control whether names, roles, images and claims are used and on which channels.
Beneficiary and confidential details are excluded unless valid authority, dignity and use permissions are documented.
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 Project Team Recognition when valuable contributions are going unnoticed or recognition depends too heavily on the same informal networks.
Projects with a partner-confirmed outcome, role list and closeout record that can identify delivery, support, access, administration and follow-up contributions.
Teams able to choose collective, role-based, named, private, written, meeting or public recognition separately.
A club willing to discuss learning, workload, safety, conflict and incomplete work separately from the appreciation moment.
Before you start
A project closeout confirming partner acceptance, outcomes, limitations, roles, incidents, complaints, finances, assets, permissions and unfinished work.
A contribution map that includes less-visible and partner roles without requiring individuals to disclose private or confidential work.
Private recognition choices for each person or team and partner approval for names, representatives, claims, images and public channels.
A no-ranking, no-hours-comparison and no-decision-use rule and a separate route for unresolved workload, safety and conduct matters.
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 Project Team Recognition will change, continue or stop.
