The program opens with a brief presentation that describes strategic planning for Rotary at multiple
levels—International, district, and local.
The facilitators will then…

Direct you in a writing exercise where you can describe your Club “not as it is, but as is it has
become” five years out. You and your fellow Rotarians will “see” and envision your future Club
in terms of membership, club attributes, special projects, fundraising, and the like.

Convert into “stretch” descriptions what all participating members have written as the desired
Club future, writing those descriptions on flip charts.

Organize those descriptions into a set of categories helpful in prioritizing your Club’s planning
focus and post them around the meeting room.

Lead you through a structured prioritization method enabling Club members to develop
consensus around and commit to take action on the most important areas to achieve the
desired Club future.

The facilitation concludes when specific assignments of responsibility for next steps are identified and,
including a preliminary determination of what needs to be done, by whom, and by when.
