This template is based on the layout and organisation of the Rotary International and District 9800 Strategic Plans and to assist your Club to align your plan with the RI and District Plans it
includes the three Rotary International Priorities and related Goals. Clubs are encouraged to use these if they apply and identify and include other priorities and goals of their own, as they see fit.
Remember … the core values of Service, Fellowship, Diversity, Integrity and Leadership should underpin your Plan, a vision for the future of your club is essential before you begin and that all
Rotary Clubs are autonomous; so be forward thinking and innovative and make your Club Plan your own, in terms of voice, content and style.
For further Strategic Planning support and information consult the RI and District 9800 Strategic Plans, the RI Strategic Planning Guide and the two District 9800 Strategic Planning Brochures,
view the Rotary International Strategic Plan PowerPoint presentation and/or contact your AG, the District Learning and Development Director and the District Club Service Chair.
