The Rotary Vison Statment
You may have seen this vision statement and wondered what its relevance is to you.
“If Rotary were a ship approaching land, our new vision statement would be the lighthouse that keeps us from running aground,” noted Stephanie Urchick six years ago as Rotary’s Strategic Planning Committee Chair. “Our vision statement explains what we want to achieve, in the same way that our mission statement explains our focus, and our strategic plan represents how we are going to get there.”
More than 1 million people around the world, including club members, staff, and the public, helped define Rotary’s vision. Leaders and members have had a chance to see and hear the vision statement and think about how these words reflect the impact we wish to have on the world. The result is a statement that inspires and engages while creating a pathway for our organization’s future.
Share the vision statement with your fellow club members. Think about what it means to your club. Look for opportunities to give your input into your club’s current activities and future strategic planning. Help your club, and all of Rotary, chart a course for taking action to create lasting change.
