Club Excellence

Club Excellence Awards

The Club Excellence awards, formerly the Rotary Citation awards, recognise clubs that achieve specific goals throughout the year.

Goals can include: increasing their membership; engaging members in sustainable service projects; giving to The Rotary Foundation; building awareness of Rotary in your community, and having an up-to-date strategic plan.

Using the process of setting and achieving club goals through the Club Excellence Awards, clubs are able to engage members in the planning for each year, creating and embedding camaraderie.

When clubs achieve these goals, they contribute to Rotary's overall health and culture for generations to come. Unlock the power of recognition and growth for your club!

The recording of our dynamic webinar covers how the Rotary and Rotaract Club Excellence Award can elevate your club’s achievements across the zone.

Through this Membership Voice webinar, we connected with clubs and community groups, demystified the award process, and showcased the incredible benefits of participation.

Whether you’re a Rotary or Rotaract club, or a Rotary Community Group, our ongoing support will guide you to new heights of service, leadership, and impact.

Club Culture and Experience

Members who have a positive club experience are more likely to stay. But how do you find how member feel about your club?

One option is for club leaders to meet with small groups of members and ask what they love about the club and what they’d like to improve. Another option is to use or adapt one of Rotary’s online club experience surveys:

Getting to Know Prospective and New Members — learn about new members when they join your club
Enhancing the Club Experience — find out how your members feel about the current club experience
Understanding Why Members Leave — discover why members decided to leave your club

Club leaders can edit, add, or omit questions to tailor the surveys for their club, as well as distribute and aggregate results — all online. The instructions linked above show club leaders how to use the surveys.

Rotary Action Plan

Did you know you can use Rotary’s action plan to strengthen your club while also supporting Rotary’s overall development?

Here are some ideas:

Increase Our Impact by evaluating your club’s goals in Rotary Club Central during a meeting. Refer to our guide, How to Report Progress on Goals to update your club’s achievements. Remember you can now set goals for three years to improve your club’s long-term planning.
Expand Our Reach by fostering a culture of belonging across Rotary and learn how your club can be more welcoming.
Enhance Participant Engagement by using the resources mentioned in the club experience section below.

Increase Our Ability to Adapt by taking the Leadership Development course — Help your members explore new ways to make meaningful changes within Rotary on our Learning Center.
