At the recent 2023 Rotary International Convention in Melbourne, members of the Zone 8 Regionalisation Pilot Steering Group presented a breakout session to attendees interested in finding out more about the pilot.
The session started with a presentation by Steering Group Chair Ingrid Waugh, followed by District Governor Neville Parsons, Rotaract Australia Chair Laura Telford and Steering Group member Peter Frueh answering questions from attendees.
This breakout session was an opportunity for people to get a greater understanding of the pilot and further understand what the next steps will be since the Rotary International Board agreed to provide financial support for the pilot in April 2023.
You can read the presentation from the breakout session here.
Ingrid and Laura recorded a video about the breakout session which you can view here.
As part of the Convention, the Regionalisation Pilot also had a booth in the House of Friendship staffed by people working on the pilot. This was a fantastic opportunity for Rotarians and Rotaractors to ask questions about and share their thoughts on regionalisation.
What’s Next?
In next month’s communication you will learn more about the Community Leader and Specialist Network roles, which will provide crucial support to clubs in the new regionalisation model. As these roles will directly impact clubs, it is important to keep informed so you can plan to arrange a future club meeting to discuss how your club wants to access these new support roles
In the coming months you will receive information about the Regional Council, including its functions, how it will work and what role you can play.
We have also updated our website to include a list of all the teams working on the pilot.
