Welcome Rotary Club Presidents

The tradition of our Rotary District 5150 Club Excellence Awards continues to be a guide for our Rotary Clubs to strive for excellence as they create new and better ways of providing service locally and globally. It is my hope that you lead your clubs to attain relevant and achievable goals that you will celebrate with your club members at the close of our 2020-2021 Rotary year! 

Criteria for the “Club Excellence Awards” are outlined in the below document. The Recognition Awards are organized in eight detailed categories of Club Administration, Community Service, International Service, Vocational Service, The Rotary Foundation, Membership, Youth Service, and Public Image. When a club attains the minimum required points in each of these eight categories (totaling at least 1800 points), the club is awarded the GOVERNOR’s Citation Award, otherwise known as “BEST CLUB”. All District 5150 Rotary Clubs can attain this award. With the support of your Assistant Governors, District Leadership Team, Past District Governors, and most importantly, Your Club Members, you are well on your way to attaining many accolades at our Annual District Conference scheduled on May 15 and 16, 2021. 

Please take some time now to review the Awards criteria with your Club Members and Leadership Team. Develop an action plan together on how to achieve “BEST CLUB”! It is such a leadership and team-building experience, and an amazing way to expand your year’s accomplishments! The submission deadline is April 1, 2021 to your Assistant Governor (AG). Our AGs are well versed with these awards and are a great resource for you and your club members. 

As a guideline, develop a strategy with your leadership team as suggested here: 

Review the Awards Criteria with your team; Schedule progress meetings throughout the year; Utilize the Awards document to track progress; Complete the Awards document; Submit it to your AG by April 1, 2021, Confirming receipt. You, as the President, will be notified by April 15, 2021, which awards your Club will receive. Then CELEBRATE at the Annual District Conference! 

Additionally, you may wish to attain The Rotary Citation award, in which its submission deadline is June 30, 2021. It can be downloaded at my.rotary.org. Its criteria coincides with our District’s Club Excellence Awards, and is another way of attaining recognition for your members’ dedication and volunteer work.
