District 6290 Governor Mark Andresky

Gov Mark started by talking about the new district action plan. The previous action plan was created in 2019. A diverse group of District 6290 members attended a 5-hour Zoom conference and generated numerous ideas. 15 meetings later, the district action plan was ready. Some highlights are

Increase Our Impact - The district is going to work on peace building, participate in EPIC day of service, and increase giving to the foundation. The amount of money in grants we get back depends on the amount of donations to the foundation. With membership down, less money has been donated.

Expand Our Reach - The district membership has declined by about 2.5% every year for a number of years. A goal is to create 10 new clubs and to increase our public image.

Enhance Engagement - 80% of new Rotarians leave within 3 years because they aren't engaged. District and club visioning will lead to action plans, which will present opportunities to new members.

Increase Our Ability to Adapt - District training is being offered in more ploaces.
