Could this work in our club?
- Local, state and Commonwealth public servants, statutory bodies, community leaders, academics and Rotary civic convenors. Use when a civic issue spans agencies or levels of government.
Before you start
- A neutral forum question, balanced speaker list and written purpose.
- Agency approvals, speaker capacities and attribution rules confirmed.
- Conflict, gifts, political neutrality, accessibility and security arrangements.
At the end: Circulate the corrected record, track only authorised commitments, and report back to participants and affected communities before scheduling another forum.
