What Is Club Vision?

• Dynamic Management Tool
• Defines a shared commitment
• Provides long-term direction
• Creates a framework to establish goals and
  objectives
• Optimizes use of resources

Proven Method

• the afternoon was perfect to give us creative
  ideas to .setour goals and objectives.
• Its amazing that we came to consensus in such a
  short time from such a diverse group.

5
Why Is A Plan Needed?

• Tradition of annual cycles breaks continuity,
  consistency, and consensus
• Clubs end up re-inventing the wheel instead of
  moving forward
• ..or worse.

are you will end up someplace else. Yogi

Vision Exercise
The panel members of our Club, wrote a letter as
if it were the year 2014 and directed it to the
Rotary International President, explaining why
the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay deserved the
Distinguished Gold Medal Award, as recognition
for being the best of the best
This became the basis for creating the Vision
that our Club might have for itself five years
from now!
