The Rotary Zone 8 Regionalisation Pilot Project will see the creation of a regional council for Rotary Oceania, as well as District roles transitioning into new, more focused leadership opportunities with two or three-year terms, depending on the role and the requirements of regional support committees.
At the recent 2023 Rotary International Convention in Melbourne, members of the Zone 8 Regionalisation Pilot Steering Group presented a breakout session to attendees interested in finding out more about the pilot.
This breakout session was an opportunity for people to get a greater understanding of the pilot and further understand what the next steps will be since the Rotary International Board agreed to provide financial support for the pilot in April 2023.

As part of the Convention, the Regionalisation Pilot also had a booth in the House of Friendship staffed by people working on the pilot. This was a fantastic opportunity for Rotarians and Rotaractors to ask questions about and share their thoughts on regionalisation.
In next month’s communication you will learn more about the Community Leader and Specialist Network roles, which will provide crucial support to clubs in the new regionalisation model.
