COUNCIL
GRANTS CLUBS GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN MEETING, MEMBERSHIP:
The 2016 Council on Legislation may
well be remembered as one of the most progressive in Rotary history.
Not only did this Council grant
clubs more freedom in determining their meeting schedule and membership, it
also approved an increase in per capita dues of $4 a year for three years. The
increase will be used to enhance Rotary’s website, improve online tools, and
add programs and services to help clubs increase membership.
The Council is an essential element
of Rotary’s governance. Every three years, members from around the world gather
in Chicago to consider proposed changes to the policies that govern the
organization and its member clubs. Measures that are adopted take effect 1
July.
The tone for this year was set
early, when the RI Board put forth two proposals that increase flexibility. The
first measure allows clubs to decide to vary their meeting times, whether to
meet online or in person, and when to cancel a meeting, as long as they meet at
least twice a month. The second allows clubs flexibility in choosing their
membership rules and requirements. Both passed.
Representatives also approved
removing six membership criteria from the RI Constitution and replacing them
with a simple requirement that a member be a person of good character who has a
good reputation in their business or community and is willing to serve the
community.
The $4 per year dues increase was
based on a five-year financial forecast that predicted that if Rotary didn’t
either raise dues or make drastic cuts, its reserves would dip below mandated
levels by 2020.
The yearly per capita dues that
clubs pay to RI will be $60 in 2017-18, $64 in 2018-19, and $68 in 2019-20. The
next council will establish the rate after that.
“We are at a moment in time when we
must think beyond the status quo,” said RI Vice President Greg E. Podd. “We
must think about our future.”
Podd said the dues increase will
allow RI to improve My Rotary, develop resources so clubs can offer a better
membership experience, simplify club and district reporting, improve website
access for Rotaractors, and update systems to keep Rotary in compliance with
changing global regulations.
Also because of this Council’s decisions:
Ø A Council on Resolutions will meet annually online to
consider resolutions — recommendations to the RI Board. Council members will be
selected for three-year terms. They’ll participate in the Council on
Resolutions for three years and the Council on Legislation in their final year
only. The Council on Resolutions will free the Council on Legislation to
concentrate on enactments — changes to Rotary’s governing documents. Proponents
predict that the Council on Legislation can then be shortened by a day, saving
$300,000.
Ø Rotaractors will be allowed to become members of Rotary
clubs while they are still in Rotaract. Proponents argued that too few
Rotaractors join Rotary. Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to leave their
Rotaract clubs before they have to, upon reaching age 30. It’s hoped that
giving them more options will boost the numbers of qualified young leaders in
Rotary.
Ø The distinction between e-clubs and traditional clubs will
be eliminated. The Council recognized that clubs have been meeting in a number
of ways, and given this flexibility, the distinction was no longer meaningful.
Clubs that have “e-club” in their names can keep it, however.
Ø The reference to admission fees will be removed from the
bylaws. Proponents argued that the mention of admission fees does not advance a
modern image of Rotary.
Ø A standing committee on membership
was established, in recognition that membership is a top priority of the
organization, and polio eradication was also reaffirmed to be a goal of the
highest order.
