District Business Meeting (Victoria Conference Center’s Theatre – Hybrid Meeting)

Official notification for District 5030’s business meeting.  We have a number of changes we are proposing and plan to hold this as a hybrid meeting to ensure that all clubs can participate regardless of them being present at the district conference or otherwise.  See our current agenda below.

Any submissions to the agenda should be provided to our district secretary at susanna.southworth@gmail.com.

Current Agenda

1.  Motion to change the approach for supporting and transitioning district sponsored projects – Jeff Borek to propose.
2. Motion to make changes to COG and roles – Kae Peterson to propose.
3. Any financial business matters to report – Rosemary Aragon to provide.
4. Updates to Section 5.1 of the District Bylaws and Appendix B – Cathy Gibson to propose.
   1. In Section 5.1 of the District Bylaws, change the name of the Public Relations Committee to Public Image Committee.
   2. In Section 5.1 of the District Bylaws, add the following three committees to the list of District Committees: District Peacebuilder Committee; District Environmental/Sustainability Committee; and the District Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee.
   3. Update Appendix B to include the district governors from 2018-2023.
5. New Rotary membership category: “Club Builder” – Cathy Gibson to propose.
6. Approval sought for a resolution to be presented to the Rotary International Council on Legislation (COL). The proposed resolution recommends a new Rotary membership category: “Club Builder” This membership category would permit Rotarians active in chartering a new club to be “Active” members in the new club while not foregoing “Active” status in their home club. As “Active” members of the new club, Rotarians with “Club Builder” membership status could serve as charter club officers, serve on the Board of the new club and in all other ways support the new club – AND not have to resign from their home club. This resolution is motivated by the recent District 5030 experience.
7. Update to the application for district project renewal for Music4Life as an Official Rotary District 5030 – David Endicott to propose.  This is an update to the application originally filed by Music4Life for renewal as an Official Rotary District 5030 Project for the coming three years in preparation for the District Conference originally scheduled for June 26th. The only changes to the application are the final numbers for the 2022-23 fiscal year, which are now available in a detailed report supporting the application. The addition of two, perhaps three, new public school district Music4Life Chapters are in the works!
8. Update to the Past Governor duties – Kae Peterson to propose.
9. Any other business items.
