There are openings for people who'd like to be vision facilitators in our district. Facilitators help clubs develop long range plans through visioning workshops. Without such plans, Rotary’s annual leadership turnover creates inconsistency as new leaders come aboard with new ideas. When a plan is put in place and a vision has been defined, present and future club leaders work together to move the organization forward. Besides providing continuity, consistency and consensus, an unexpected result of visioning sessions has been an increase in leadership.
According to PDG Terry Mueller, "Being on the visioning team has been one of the most rewarding and fun assignments that I have held in Rotary. I hope more people will join us in this important effort to strengthen our clubs."
There will be a mandatory training session for all current vision facilitators and anyone else interested in joining the facilitation team. The training will be held at the Palatine Library, Room 3, on November 15, 2008, from 9:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Lunch and all training materials will be provided. Please RSVP to Terry Mueller (roterry@sbcglobal.net) or Mike Ericksen (gov64400708@aol.com) by November 12th.
The District Vision Facilitator works with a team of 2 - 3 other facilitators to facilitate the visioning process to clubs in our district. District Visioning Sessions are offered to clubs on the 1st and 3rd Mondays and the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. Facilitators are expected to be available for at least one session per month.
The skills required for the facilitator position are:
Past or current governor or assistant governor or past president of a Rotary club
Teaching, training and/or facilitation experience
Detail-oriented, proactive planner with an ability to manage schedules and calendars
A professional presence when speaking to a group
High level of verbal communication skills for presentations
Experience with Power Point and other presentation technology tools
