Could this work in our club?
- Professionals, employers, alumni, social-impact leaders, community organisations and members offering vocational expertise. Use when there are recurring vocational or partnership opportunities worth curating.
Before you start
- A network charter covering purpose, eligible posts, commercial boundaries, conduct, moderation and removal.
- A controlled page or group with named administrators, multi-factor authentication and succession.
- An opportunity template specifying community need, requested expertise, time, conflicts and responsible owner.
At the end: Check each introduction after 30 days, record only the community outcome needed for evaluation and close opportunities when the owner or need is no longer active.
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.
