  Foundation goals can provide the power to Lead the Way

  Luis Vicente Giay 

  July 2006

  Dear friends of The Rotary Foundation: 

  The Rotary Foundation is a large and successful international 
  organization. Its many accomplishments are achieved through the 
  efforts of individual Rotarians, their clubs, and districts. Our 
  mission statement to achieve world understanding and peace is a 
  lofty goal that can only be achieved through the sustained action 
  and commitment of Rotarians. Each year, the president of RI chooses 
  a theme as an embodiment of the intentions of Rotarians, and the 
  chair of The Rotary Foundation expresses the Foundation's goals. 

  Goal setting helps us determine our priorities, get organized, make 
  big decisions, and realize our dreams. Goals have a power of their 
  own when they are specific, manageable, and achievable. Goals can 
  provide motivation and foster commitment. Clearly stated goals 
  provide a framework to measure achievement and can be modified to 
  reflect an organization's accomplishments. 

  As chairman of the Foundation's Board of Trustees for 2006-07, I am 
  pleased to present the goals approved by the Trustees with an aim to 
  achieving increasingly better results in the organization's 
  operations. 

  All areas of our Foundation's endeavor - administration, 
  investments, programs, and so forth - are equally important, and we 
  will expend every effort and put every advantage to use for the 
  optimum development of each. However, in order to expedite the work 
  that lies ahead, we have chosen seven goals that will guide us and 
  enable us to Lead the Way in 2006-07. 

  During 2006-07, The Rotary Foundation will: 

  1. Focus on the eradication of polio 

  2. Heighten its profile on the world stage in the field of peace and 
  conflict resolution through its unique partnerships with premier 
  institutions 

  3. Achieve a worldwide per capita of US$100 in giving to the Annual 
  Programs Fund while establishing a new record for major gifts to the 
  Permanent Fund 

  4. Collaborate with Rotary International to enhance Rotary's public 
  image 

  5. Improve grassroots-level training to increase awareness of the 
  Foundation's mission 

  6. Articulate and implement the future vision of The Rotary 
  Foundation for Rotary's second century of service 

  7. Strive to administer its programs with speed and simplicity 

  Thank you in advance for your lasting and generous support of The 
  Rotary Foundation, today and into the future. Let us keep in mind 
  that our Foundation is the best present that we can offer to ensure 
  a shining future for Rotary. 

  Cordially, 

  Luis Vicente Giay
  The Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair, 2006-07
