Setting and Achieving Goals

You might want to review the Rotary Action Plan, RI's strategic plan...
then assess where you currently are using the Club Health Check...
then look through the Strategic Planning Guide. 
 
Rotary Club Central is a module in rotary.org designed to help you set and achieve realistic goals.  Using this tool you can see what goals were set by your club in the past, and plan for the future.  Plan toward the beginning of the year, record your projects and achievements as you go along, and at the end of the year review your progress.
 
Reporting progress to the club members is a good way of patting yourselves on the back!  We often don't realize just how much we have achieved during the year.
 
You create a record for future leaders of the club, as well as telling the District and RI just how much good you have done in your community and in the world.
Bravo!
