Could this work in our club?
- Consenting adult alumni across programs, locations and accessibility needs; authorised moderators. Use when alumni want ongoing digital exchange and can name the value they seek.
Before you start
- Platform privacy, data location, account security, export and closure risks reviewed.
- Community rules, moderation ladder and emergency or harmful-content response approved.
- Permission renewal and inactive-account removal schedule configured.
At the end: Moderators acknowledge reports within one working day, publish a monthly curated digest by preference and run a quarterly access-and-retention audit.
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.
