Club committees are charged with carrying out the club’s long-range and annual goals.

When the new Rotary year begins 1 July, thousands of Rotarians begin their involvement with a club committee. 

It’s through the work of club committees that a Rotary club provides service to its community, retains members, and develops leaders for the club, district, and Rotary International.

Club committees are charged with carrying out the club’s long-range and annual goals. Each Rotary club has different needs and will establish committees to suit them. Read more about club committees .

Whether you’re a new or returning club committee member, here are several resources that you may find helpful.

Club administration committee

Club membership committee

Club public relations committee

Club service projects committee

Club Rotary Foundation committee

While the chair and committee ensures continuity I am not certain as to the communication channels and reporting fileds as between the chairs and the board. The Chairs are not members of the Board. They may be invited to the Board but unless they are so invited. Tthere appear to be a missing link here. I maybe missing something. Tha Board has besides the principle officers, set of directors who may may not be on the various committees. The President is an ex officio mmebers of the Committees. If would perhaps be good if the Chairs are aslo members of the Board. Rtn. Jeyan

The RVM DVD includes several short stories on a variety of Rotary projects. You can build a program around the stories or keep a DVD on hand to fill-in when a club presenter cancels at the last-minute. Another good resource is the Rotary in Pictures 2007 CD. You can use the images to create your own slide show or take advantage of the packaged slide shows on the set. There are more DVDs and CDs on the shop.rotary.org web site -- click the "Audio and Video" link at the top of the left hand column.
