The Club does not normally publish a story about our regular business meetings, however the Rotary Club adopted unanimously a new Strategic Plan, which has been in the development stage for the past year.
President-elect Bruce Shepard spoke to the group, about the work that went on and how he followed a model he learned early in his career. Bruce mentioned the need for more publicity and advertising, as well as a membership brochure which would extoll the values of Rotary to newcomers. He also spoke about engaging local industries, both large and small to further our reach.
Club Vision
The Rotary Club of Medicine Hat will be a high profile, dynamic service club recognized both locally and abroad for its leadership and community service.
Club Mission
The purpose of the Rotary Club of Medicine Hat, in keeping with the Rotary Code of Conduct, the Four Way Test and the Objects of Rotary, is to ethically serve our local and global communities by providing opportunities for service, fellowship and personal growth for our members.
Club Actions to support the Mission
The following actions will be undertaken by our Club to reach our Objectives and fulfill our Mission:
- The current Club Committee structure will be revised and animated by a renewed commitment to fun and fellowship;
- A new Promotions and Marketing Committee will be created and tasked with raising the profile of our Club in the community;
- Plan, develop and hold a single major Club event, with spouses, aimed at recruiting new members, or encouraging former members to return.
There is lots of work to do, and all members will need to be engaged to make it happen.
Thanks to Bruce, Melanie and the whole Rotary Board for getting us to this point.
