Information for Task Force Area Coordinators - Zone
Coordinators - District Coordinators
A Task Force is an action group of
experienced Rotarians, appointed by the Rotary International President, to help clubs and
districts achieve specific operational and service objectives Remember these points:
A TASK FORCE IS . . .
· Action oriented to achieve specific goals
· Composed of experienced Rotarians
· A resource of ideas and suggestions to help
clubs and districts
A Few Basic Observations for all Coordinators
1. The Task Forces are a fairly new form of
proactive Rotary service. There are not clearly defined steps to take Each
Task Force must be creative in collecting information, workable activities, practical
illustrations, promotional materials and other useful resources that will help Rotary
Clubs to become more involved in projects and activities. Each Task Force should
become a clearing house of good ideas and practical suggestions.
2. The
Task Forces will be available to help, only if a Club or District invites them to assist. If a Club or District does not wish to use a Task
Force - that is their choice.
3. it
is quite possible that all Districts and all Clubs will not be interested in the work of
all 20 Task Forces. Districts will be asked
to "pick and choose" those of interest.
4. The
work of the Task Forces closely follows the theme for 2000-2001: "Create Awareness and Take Action." In many instances, Task Force members' first task will be to "Create
Awareness" of major issues in their community or in the world which need
attention. If Rotarians are unaware of major
problems, it is unlikely that they will be concerned enough to "Take Action".
5. Once
Rotarians are aware of issues or challenges, then it become much easier to promote
projects and action programs to meet the challenges.
