Board approves committee's criteria for next RI corporate project

At its November 2005 meeting, the RI Board approved
several recommendations of the Strategic
Planning Committee, including adoption of criteria
for selecting the next RI corporate project after global
polio eradication is achieved.
The criteria call for a new corporate project to
have a finite time frame and a global appeal and application
so that Rotarians worldwide can participate in
a meaningful way with measurable success outcomes.
In addition, the project should lend itself to club-level
support and implementation, generate significant
Rotarian interest before its outset, and have no negative
impact on fundraising efforts for existing Rotary
Foundation funds.
"The idea was not to select a program but rather
to lay down a set of guidelines that would be used to
determine the method for choosing one from among
the many needy but very resource-competitive programs,"
says committee chair Barry Thompson.
The Board also approved the committee's recommendation
to phase out the strategic planning action
teams, made up of volunteers and RI staff, by 30 June
2007 and transfer their work to regular RI committees.
The Board began this process by shifting responsibility
for goal 1 (eradicate polio) from the current
action team to the International PolioPlus Committee.
Finally, the Board called for the strategic plan
to be fully reviewed every three years, beginning in
2006-07, which Thompson believes will promote both
flexibility and accountability. "Circumstances will
change, so we need to be flexible as well as deciding
what's working and what needs amendment," he
says. "There's no point having a plan if somebody
isn't looking to see whether the things we're doing
are in accordance with that plan."
