GROWING GLOBALLY
District 7090’s Rotary E-Club of Social Innovators (RESI) is continuing to grow its global RESI network by chartering a Satellite eClub of Planet Shakers and a Rotaract eClub of Social Innovators (ReSI), as well as growing its social media presence on LinkedIn and Facebook.
Chartering Satellite eClub of Planet Shakers
Last month, RESI was approached by a global group who has been trying for about a year to charter a global e-club – originally to be called Rotary E-Club of Global Social Entrepreneurs, but now being called Rotary eClub of Planet Shakers – but they had not yet been able to reach the minimum number required to charter their own separate Rotary club. RESI has agreed to help this group by chartering a Satellite eClub of Planet Shakers as part of RESI. We now have received 15 completed RESI membership application forms from this Planet Shakers group from the following countries:
- Philippines (8 members);
- USA (2 members);
- Austria (1 member);
- New Zealand (1 member);
- Nigeria (1 member);
- Senegal (1 member); and
- Spain (1 member).
Planet Shakers is a truly global satellite e-club with members on 5 continents (i.e., Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania). In addition, a number of the Planet Shakers members are Past Presidents of Rotary Clubs in the Philippines.
These Planet Shakers members have advised that the follower will be their Satellite eClub’s Charter Officers:
- Chairperson: Mary Angela Moore (Manila, Philippines);
- Chair-Elect: Professor Benedict (Manila, Philippines); and
- Secretary: Sean Thomas (Madrid, Spain).
RESI and the Planet Shakers charter officers have decided that we now have sufficient completed RESI membership application for RESI to finalize and submit the Satellite Club application to Rotary International.
Growing RESI Social Media on LinkedIn & Facebook
Over the last month, the Rotary E-Club of Social Innovators (RESI) has also significantly increased its social media presence on both LinkedIn and Facebook. We launched our Rotary E-Club of Social Innovators (RESI) LinkedIn Group which has grown to more than 400 members, including Rotary International President Barry Rassin and Aide to Rotary International President & Past Rotary International Director John Smarge, in less than two weeks! And, we also doubled our Facebook presence with 150 Likes and 154 Follows on our Rotary E-Club of Social Innovators Facebook Page at: .
