Two awards you may wish to consider as Club President are the Significant Service Award and the Avenues of Service Award.
The Significant Service Award recognizes a Club whose project has addressed a significant need in your community. The Significant Service Award is designed to give districts an opportunity to recognize club projects that address a significant problem or need in the local community.
(Note that International service projects are not eligible for this award).
As club president, you can nominate your club via this form to be recognized for a significant service project that addressed a need in your community. This is a simple, online application which your can access at https://rotary.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_55CFSyWTWCwhQln
Avenues of Service Award (District recognition)
With an award from their District, clubs can honor a Rotarian or Rotaractor who participates in service activities in one of the five Avenues of Service — club, vocational, community, international, and youth service. Club Presidents nominate members for this award using an online application form you can access athttps://rotary.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4V0rQ6ijj6qu9pj.
When you submit a member’s name for this award using the online application, nominations are then sent to the District Governor who will review and decide whether to recognize each nominee for the Avenue of Service Award with a certificate. This document, “Awards Examples of Avenues of Service Activities” describes the criteria for this recognition.
Each year, Rotary International publishes criteria for a club to obtain the Rotary Citation.
By now, you should have entered your goals in Rotary Club Central – now you simply need revisit the goal center at https://rcc.rotary.org/#/goals?pth=Cl (My Rotary login required) and document the goals that you’ve achieved.
There are 26 categories - YOU select goals in 13 of them. If you achieve these goals, you get the Citation….simple as that!!
New this year! Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards to recognize club and individual efforts to support the environment, fight climate change, reduce plastics use, or other initiatives that will help us leave a cleaner, more healthy and livable world for our kids and grandchildren.

The application is available by clicking HERE, and the deadline for submission is April 6, 2023.
The goal of these awards is to encourage clubs and members to undertake environmental initiatives and projects.
Annually, one of the most frequently cited goals among Rotary Club Presidents is "increase awareness of the significant contributions our Club makes to our communities, and the impact of our efforts."
The 2024 District 7910 Public Image Awards will celebrate excellence and spotlight effective, high-impact initiatives in four categories:
Outstanding Public Relations Work, Promotional Efforts & Materials
Outstanding Web Presence
Outstanding Social Media Presence
Exemplary Public Image Presence
The Public Image Awards team will host a Q&A on Zoom at 8:00 am on Wednesday, March 13. RSVP beforehand to receive the link.
Rotarians do the work and rarely share the impact with focus and intensity. Successful public image initiatives share those stories, raise awareness, stimulate interest, and generate membership interest.
