It is about this time of the year that we look to putting together next year's Rotary Club of Berwick Board. Serving as a Board member is a privilege and can also have some challenges. In the past, the President and President-Elect would tap members on the shoulder to fill positions that might suit their skill set. The problem with this approach is that newer members, or members that have hidden skill sets, may be overlooked to the detriment of the Club.
This year I would like to do things a bit differently and ask for members to nominate suitable people, or if you want to contribute, nominate yourself. Now I don't want to confuse anyone, but our Rotary Club is going through a COVID evolution stage which means that we cannot expect to go back to our traditional format for some time to come, if at all. Our activities, goals and expectations are all in flux as we work through the endless opportunities that await the right mix of leaders. We are in exciting times and that calls for people with vision, imagination and purpose. To have the best chance to be a Rotary leader in these transforming times, now is a good time to get some training in. Both Rotary International and District 9820 have you covered. Having time to shadow the current Board members will also lead to a strong and easy transition.
To nominate yourself or another member for a position on the Board, please email Sam at secretary@rotaryberwick.org. All Director descriptions are in the President's Plan which was emailed to all members at the beginning of the Rotary year, or can be found here:
