RI Recognition Programs for Clubs

In 2011-12, Rotary clubs are encouraged to focus on meeting the criteria for two important awards:Presidential Citation and the Changemaker Award.

Details on ALL awards programs may be found at this link on the RI website.

NEW FOR 2011 - Changemaker Award to recognize clubs that make an impact. To qualify for a Changemaker Award, clubs will choose from a menu of activities and complete a minimum number for each avenue. All activities must be undertaken and completed between 1 July 2011 and 1 March 2012. District governors will select three clubs in the district — the top-performing small, medium, and large clubs — to be entered into a zone and international competition, culminating in the opportunity to be recognized onstage at the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok, Thailand.  Form at district website here and at RI website here

Presidential Citation for 2011-  Actions and criteria  support the priorities and goals identified within the RI Strategic Plan: strengthen clubs, increase humanitarian service, and enhance public image. Rotary Foundation requirements and membership requirements must both be attained for recognition. All clubs and districts that have been certified as reaching these goals will receive a certificate signed by the RI President.

In addition, the top 15 certified clubs and districts will be eligible for onstage recognition at the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok.
