What?
Spring Roundup is an "Open Space" planning and action-item setting event that was started last year, and enjoyed by all that were there!  Check out details of last year's event on the District website at: Spring Roundup 2017.  Thanks to our local hosts the Rotary Club of Summerland for setting this up for us.

Who should come??
  • Presidents-Elect – FOR SURE you want to join this, make sure the planning you started at prePETS and PETS gets finalized and your teams ready for action.
  • Committee Chairs and Board Members – FOR SURE you want to be here to share best practices with your colleagues from around the District!
  • Club Presidents, Past Presidents & District Leaders – FOR SURE you want to be here to help all our Clubs be the best they can, and perhaps explore what is next for you!

  • OK, so just about everybody!
How?
Register (link-button below) and pay for the event ($35), and promote it to your club!  Groups have no restrictions about what they talk about, so come ready to share (and learn) some great ideas!  Best results will be achieved if 5-10 come from each club and cover several of the topic discussions.
 
 
Agenda
10:00-11:00     Group session - Facilitated
The "Open Space" Conference technique will be briefly described, and we will decide on our breakout topics that relate to the "Big Question" for the day, which is:
     How do we improve Membership: Attraction - Retention - Engagement??
 
11:00-1:00       Breakout – Discussion Leader
This will be for whomever is in each group to discuss “best practices”.  This is NOT TRAINING, rather this is collaborative development.  What has worked for your club? What can be done better?  A light lunch will be available during this time.
 
1:00-2:00         Group session – Facilitated
"Shop the Room".  This is where we get to explore all the action items that came out of the breakouts, and vote for our favorites.  Conclude the meeting portion of the day with facilitated group discussion about next steps… “The Big Rocks” in the jar!
 
2:30-5:00         Social get-together – the Roundup!
Our “host” Summerland Rotary Club will organize a BBQ “early dinner” gathering.  Local youth will serve, donation-fundraiser.
 
Cheers,
