STRATEGIES IN REVIVING ROTARACT CLUBS
DISTRICT TEAM TRAINING SEMINAR (DTTS)
Rotary International District 3780
Rotaract District Committee
Cenacle Drive, Sanville, Quezon City / July 6, 2008
Topic: Strategies in Reviving Clubs
I was invited as one of the speakers during the DISTRICT TEAM TRAINING SEMINAR (DTTS) of our district – D3780.
It was a bit challenging since I can’t find any manual as guide. I just hope that I imparted what I should have contributed to the incoming district officers.
Below is the summary of the talk.
STRATEGIES IN REVIVING ROTARACT CLUBS
I. ASSESS THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM SO ROTARACT CLUB AND DISTRICT CAN POSITION ITS BEST SOLUTION
LEVELS OF POSSIBLE CAUSES:
Level 1: ROTARACT
The problem lies in Rotaract Club level itself.
- Possible Problems:
o Image Problem (more on behavioural in nature)
o Wrong use of funds
o Key members / Past presidents “resign”
o No new members
- What the District Can Do?
o Determine key club members who can possibly mediate and work things out
o Help the sponsoring Rotary Club find or revitalize Rotaract members
Level 2: ROTARY
The problem rooted from Rotary Club level.
- Possible Problem:
o The Rotary Club has no plan to sustain sponsored Rotaract Club.
o The Rotary cannot hold its membership in terms of number.
- What the District Can Do?
o Try to convince first. Try once, twice and thrice.
o Look for another Rotary Club interested to sponsor a Rotaract Club
o Find a Rotary Club capable of sponsoring a Rotaract Club
Level 3. ROTARY AND ROTARACT
The problem involves both Rotary and Rotaract Club.
-Possible Problem:
o Intimate personal relationship
- What the District Can Do?
o Orient Rotaractors of limits
o Look for respected Rotarian of concerned Rotary Club to warn / remind involved member of its limits
The key in levels 1 and 2 is the willingness of the Rotary Club to sustain the Rotaract club. The convincing and mediation process are crucial.
II. Take pro-active measures so the club will not reach the termination, revitalization, and revival stage.
-Effective club management
Note:
-I should join Toastmasters to enhance my communication presentation skills.
-Did not bring own camera.

JOINT ROTARACT DISTRICT 3780 AND 3810 PRESIDENTS-ELECT TRAINING SEMINAR
JOINT ROTARACT DISTRICT 3780 AND 3810 PRESIDENTS-ELECT TRAINING SEMINAR
STI Makati / June 14, 2008
Topic: Presidents ‘ Roles and Responsibilities
I was not able to catch-up the assigned talk. The good news was, every topic had one speaker from participating districts (meaning the Presidents still had a speaker for the topic) so the event went on.
Sometimes, I can’t help work, studies and Rotaract schedules conflict!

FACILITATED RAC CLUB OF DILIMAN'S TEAMBUILDING / PLANNING
ROTARACT CLUB OF DILIMAN'S TEAMBUILDING / PLANNING / DRR'S VISIT
Villa Virginia Resort, Taktak, Antipolo City
May 24-25, 2008
A marathon day! Truly it was a marathon for RAC Diliman for having conducted teambuilding, planning and DRRs' visit in one schedule and venue. Nice concept of integrating all activities in one event.
Basic event structure that made it successful:
1. Pre-planning
I guess, the worst thing with club planning is not to come-up with concrete calendar for the whole year after the event. The day was fruitful because of pre-planning ahead of the event. The group had agreed possible proposed projects.
2. Orientation on Strategic Planning
a. SWOT Analysis and SMART tools really helped.
3. Planning
a. I handled this using the RI Calendar with balance through Rotary and Rotaract events and schedules considerations both at the RI, District and club levels. After, categorizing according to avenues of service, priority and unique projects of the club were given emphasis and placed first in the calendar for the whole year
4. Teambuilding
Full support of the sponsoring Rotary Club of Diliman was visible. There was great inputs from Rotary Club Trainer with knowledge about Rotaract procedures.
Matched with the expert resource speaker and facilitators were the responsive and smart members.
On a personal note, I was a bit restless and tired though I didn’t put all my energy for the training. I guess, I’m not used to “overnights” anymore after trying to relax and “hide away” my schedule from Rotaract events to revitalize my health.

The gathering highlighted the recognition of outstanding Rotaract alumni, whose invaluable contribution to Philippine Rotaract’s development and their professional achievements brought inspiration to the young rotaractors in their respective districts. Majority
of the awardees are former rotaractors and now rotarians.

As the RY 2008-09 is fast approaching, it is timely to elect new set of officers / chair for interim MDIO Pilipinas. I know, it is too young but I guess, new leaders will mean more brains and energy to the group.
So far, I have feedback from Brazil. Guidelines set will be posted after drafts and approval from the group.
