GOODWILL MESSAGE FROM NATIONAL COORDINATOR Roy T. Bennett (The Light in the Heart) once said, “Success is not how

high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the

world.” That is why I am elated about this year’s Rotary International

Theme Rotary: ‘Making a Difference’. This I believe could not have been

chosen better.

It is imperative for us to know that, the world thrives on two main kind of profiled persons. The

first I call occupants and the other I call leaders. The mere difference has to do with the fact that,

the latter ensures difference and the former manages patterns. Patterns of the socio-economic

settings within which we find ourselves.

This year’s theme admonishes us not to be spectators but citizens, in the words of our president

Nana Akuffo-Addo. This seeks to ensure that we carve history of a sort in our pledge of serving

humanity. Not just history but one that posterity will forever cherish. PIS, I invite you to join this

move of Making a Difference for the betterment of our societies.

My board and I brainstormed for a theme that would make a positive difference to our small

community, and thus came up with this year’s national office theme: ‘Growth through fellowship

and Increased Awareness’. This theme was chosen because we realized the need for a positive

growth which would encompass the main goals of Rotaract Ghana and Rotary at large.

Briefly, we seek to achieve the following in the coming Rotaract year;

• Firstly, zoning of Clubs would be made paramount, as we have come up with a new

initiative where a number of Clubs would be grouped together to form zones. This we

believe would reduce the financial burden some Clubs face when undertaking projects.

This will also include a national training for the segmented Clubs for the purposes of

enhancing effectiveness in both leadership and membership.

Revised Activities for 2016/2017 Rotary Year

Plan of Action for 2017/2018 Rotary Year Page | vi

• Secondly, in view of the golden jubilee anniversary celebration of Rotaract which is in

this Rotary year, the Board would like to celebrate the year’s festivities in grand style. This

includes designing a logo to mark the celebrations, paraphernalia and a Rotaract @50 tour.

• We will create sub-domains for each Club in Ghana. It will include customized email for

each club as well as Special boards and committees to be easily accessed by guests and

other Rotaractors.

• Finally, we will form a National Constitutional Review Committee which would review

the Rotaract Ghana bye law and call for its amendment at a meeting for the said purpose.

They will also see to it that all laws and regulations regarding Rotaract are adhered to by

all Rotaractors.

Once again, I invite you to join the National Office serve you better. Long Live Rotaract Ghana;

Long Live Rotaract; Long Live Rotary International. Thank you.

Signed Rtr. Edem Agbenyo DRRD, 2017-2018

MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PLAN Currently, there are a total of 35 Rotaract Clubs in Ghana of which some are inactive and most if

at least a member and/or a guest from Clubs within each zone. This is geared toward sharing

Club which sends the highest number of delegation for other club fellowship meetings or

National events.

• The Membership Board shall provide a token to members who have been hospitalized for

more than seven (7) days, death of an active member (member in good standing), weeding

Constitution and By-Law.

MEDIA & PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN This Administration through the Media and Public Relations Board shall ensure a massive media

campaign with the aim of:

• Attracting right calibre of people to join the club and to contribute their quota in making a

difference in their various communities.

• Provide publicity for zonal projects; to enhance the good image of Rotary and Rotaract as

a whole whilst facilitating the realization of partnerships and sponsorships.

Specific Initiatives • This Administration under the leadership of the Public Relations Director, shall form a

National Media and Public Relations Board which will be chaired by the National PR

Director and will also form a National Media and Public Relations Directorate (All PR

Directors) by 30th of June, 2017 to be chaired by the National Media Director. The Board

also during all Rotaract activities.

• Rotaractors will be encouraged to wear their pins at all times when not branded in any

Rotary/Rotaract paraphernalia. However, failure to wear a Rotaract pin at all meetings will

attract a Gh5 fine.

• A weekly news bulletin will be displayed on the National website and shared via some

selected social media thereby increasing the visibility of club activities and also to help

demystify perceptions about Rotaract.

• The Board will work to produce a high-class professional documentary on Rotaract to be

displayed on our website and other social media platforms.

• Effort will be made to get live, in-studio interviews on radio and television stations to get

greater publicity for our projects and create more awareness about Rotaract.

• In collaboration with the Project Board, courtesy calls will be made on humanitarian and

non-governmental organisation to get insight into the work of other partners in service,

promote the club and seek partnership opportunities. In addition to the above, efforts will

be made to visit some governmental organisations.

• The Board shall make available Rotary/Rotaract information on some selected social media

platforms where members will be well informed on the issues of Rotary/Rotaract to

increase their awareness rate and understanding of the organization.

• Ultimately, it is the expectation of the board that all members are actively promoting

Rotaract and its activities. Our conduct, in our engagements with people, should project

Rotaract positively. We should uphold the Rotary values of professional excellence and

high ethical standards, as no other PR campaigns can be more effective.
