Rotary Club of Mental Health & Wellness Board of Directors: Tips for Starting and Maintaining a Cause-Based Club

  • Recruit a group of authentic and motivated leaders and members to spearhead the chartering of the club.  

  • Include all members in the decision-making process so that club members have a vested interest in the success of the club. 

  • Have a clear definition of the cause and know there may be many viewpoints about it.

  • Work from the heart.  

  • Expect that everything will NOT go perfectly and know that it's okay.

  • Remember to have fun.

  • Create a club “to do” list

  • Develop standardized structures, systems, flow charts, and board job descriptions to support the functioning of the club. 

  • Communication is key! 

  • Invite people you know to be members and then build-up on the fellowship. 

  •  "Every little bit helps." Don't be discouraged because you're busy. 

  • Delegating is a MUST.
