Could this work in our club?
- Adult alumni from Rotary and Rotaract programs, current program leaders and community partners. Use when there is an authorised, permission-based alumni invitation list.
Before you start
- Accessible venue, conduct expectations and quiet participation options.
- Registration collects only event needs and separate follow-up preferences.
- Hosts briefed on program names, inclusive introductions and referral boundaries.
At the end: Within 48 hours, send only mutually consented introductions and requested resources; check active collaborations once at six weeks.
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.
