District committees
D istrict governors appoint committees to carry out a variety of responsibilities to help reach district goals. The District Leadership Plan outlines nine standing district committees that address ongoing administrative functions. (Districts may appoint additional committees as needed.) The recommended committees are:
- District conference
- District programs (e.g., Rotaract, World Community Service)
- Extension
- Finance
- Membership development
- Public relations
- RI Convention promotion
- The Rotary Foundation
- Training
All district committees share these duties:
- Providing support and guidance to clubs
- Working with relevant RI and Rotary Foundation committees and resource groups
- Collaborating with the governor-elect to help establish district goals
- Meeting with district leaders to plan strategies to achieve club and district goals
- Promoting and attending district training meetings and the district conference
- Managing communication between RI and the district
District committee member qualifications
Qualifications for appointment to a district committee include active membership and good standing in a club within the district. Specific committees may require additional qualifications. For example, the district public relations committee should give preference to individuals with media, public relations, or marketing experience.
District committee member training
District committee members complete training before their year of service. They also participate in the club leader training sessions at district assemblies.
