Clubs will be notified via email of their Rotary Community Groups (RCGs) in February, hold their first meeting in March, then elect their Rotary Community Leaders (RCLs) in April.

RCGs will be based on what clubs have in common, such as geography, type of club or shared language. They will meet in person, online, or a combination of both, and will choose how often they meet.

The RCGs are designed to foster greater collaboration among clubs so they can work more effectively and at a larger scale than they could on their own. Clubs will be able to nominate both a primary and secondary way they prefer to be grouped. Secondary groupings are optional and will mainly be online. For example, a club might want a primary geographic group and also want to join a network of other clubs that are passionate about a particular cause.

The Regional Council Portfolio Committees will be formed, with applications for Portfolio Committee Members opening next month.

Rotary Specialists will be selected after applications open in February.
