THE CITATION - LET'S SEE YOUR CLUB ACHIEVE ITAt our recent District 7090 Conference, we celebrated, on Thursday evening, all 25+ clubs that achieved the Rotary Citation. On Saturday, we celebrated clubs that won the Lighthouse Award and one special club (Rotary Club of Fonthill) that won the governor’s trophy for their achievements during the 2020-2021 Rotary year. I want to see even more clubs achieve the Rotary Citation in this Rotary year! The Rotary Citation is awarded by Rotary International. It recognizes Rotary clubs that support the strategic priorities of our organization over the course of our current Rotary year - July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. |
What does your club need to do to achieve this Rotary Club Citation honour?
- Enter your club goals in Rotary Club Central.
- Go to the Goal Centre and select this Rotary year.
- Then click on the goals you want to focus on in this coming year.
- There are 25 goals to choose from - you have to select and achieve 13 of those goals and record the achievement back in the Rotary Club Central
How do you check if your club has identified goals for this year?
There is an easy way to check. You go to “My Rotary” and sign in. The home page comes up with a section called “My Club Snapshot”. Under the name of your President is a tab that says “view club goals”. There you can click on them and see what your club President and likely Board have picked for the year. If you are not sure of the status, ask your club President if he / she could update the club as you approach the six month mark for the year.
For more information on the Rotary Citation - see https://my.rotary.org/en/news-media/office-president/rotary-citation. There are also citations for Rotaract clubs which can be found also at My Rotary.
