Rotaract Rising

The ongoing evolution of Rotaract is redefining its place within Rotary. “It’s a new era,” says one enthusiastic Rotaractor

by Vanessa Glavinskas

Editor's Note: This story originally appeared in the May issue of The Rotarian magazine. Since publishing, Interota has been postponed to 2021. Learn more about next year's Interota. 

At midnight on 30 June, hundreds of Rotaractors will ring in the new Rotary year together. They’ll also be celebrating Rotaract’s ongoing evolution, including the expansion of Rotary membership to include Rotaract clubs.

“It’s really exciting,” says Ignacio González, a member of the Rotaract Club of Oriente de Talca in Chile. Until recently, Rotaractors have been considered Rotary program participants. “Now,” says González, who serves on the Elevate Rotaract Task Force, “we are a part of Rotary. It’s a new era for Rotaract.”

Rotary programs include: Interact, Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, New Generations Service Exchange, Rotary Peace Fellowships, and Rotary Community Corps

Rotaract’s elevated status within the organization was approved by Rotary’s Council on Legislation in 2019 as part of an ongoing effort to make Rotary more appealing and welcoming to young professionals. “We keep telling Rotarians to find a way to bring in young people, when we have them already and we seem to forget them,” says 2018-19 Rotary President Barry Rassin. It was Rassin who formally proposed expanding the definition of Rotary membership to include both Rotary and Rotaract.

After the Council approved revising the RI Constitution and Bylaws to include Rotaract as a membership type, the Elevate Rotaract Task Force — made up of both Rotaractors and Rotarians — was formed and began surveying members to come up with policy recommendations for the transition. “We’re hearing from Rotaractors all over the world,” says David D. Stovall, RI treasurer and chair of the task force.

On the advice of the task force, the RI Board of Directors in October approved several changes to Rotaract — the most notable being the removal of Rotaract’s upper age limit. As of 1 July, members of Rotaract will no longer be required to leave their club when they turn 31. Clubs will still be able to set their own age limit, if they wish.

Rotaract clubs will be able to take advantage of products and services such as new leadership development resources from Toastmasters International, updated online goal-setting tools, and an improved online club administration experience.

Elyse Lin, a member of the Rotaract Club of Taipei Tin Harbour in Taiwan who is also on the task force, says the age limit was an obstacle for Rotaract members who wanted to stay involved with Rotary but either didn’t feel ready for a traditional Rotary club or found the expense of joining one out of reach. “Once those members leave, it’s very hard to get them back into the Rotary family,” Lin notes. Although some Rotaract alumni continue to participate in Rotaract events, she says, they often no longer feel like a true part of the organization. With the rules change, she predicts some recent alumni will rejoin Rotaract. 

Other changes: New Rotaract clubs won’t have to rely on a Rotary club to sponsor them; they can now sponsor themselves or choose another Rotaract club as their sponsor. And Rotaractors are now eligible — and encouraged — to serve alongside Rotarians on district and RI committees. “Elevate Rotaract is really a call for a closer partnership between Rotary and Rotaract,” explains Clement Chinaza Owuamalam, a member of the Rotaract Club of Apo, Nigeria, who serves on the task force. 

Rotaract clubs will also gain more support from Rotary International, including access to administrative tools on My Rotary and the option to subscribe to the digital edition of The Rotarian magazine. As the transition from Rotary program to membership type gets underway, the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation also plan to discuss whether Rotaract clubs should be eligible to apply for Foundation grants. 

Rotary has a new alliance with Toastmasters International, and Rotary’s online learning center will host a curriculum created by Toastmasters that will help members improve their leadership and communication skills. To learn more, visit rotary.org/toastmasters.

One thing Rotaractors are looking for, says Ronald S. Kawaddwa, a member of the Rotary Club of Kasangati, Uganda, is more professional development opportunities. To meet this demand, a leadership training program Rotary is rolling out with Toastmasters will also be available to Rotaract members. “At age 30, you are launching your professional career,” says Kawaddwa, who is on the task force. “If Rotaract provides a better package in terms of professional development, that adds value.”

In 2022, annual dues of $5 per person for university-based Rotaract clubs and $8 for community-based clubs will be introduced to cover the cost of additional support for Rotaract clubs. RI will work to develop and promote alternative funding sources to help Rotaractors pay dues, including fundraising opportunities.

Kawaddwa says that shifting the public perception of Rotary is particularly important to attracting more young people in his region. “On the African continent, most of the population is below the age of 30,” he says. “If Rotary remained the way it was, it would soon become irrelevant.”

Letting Rotaract members stay in their clubs longer gives them more time to learn about Rotary, Kawaddwa adds. “We hope that these changes will produce stronger Rotarians, members who have served longer and gotten more experience and mentorship while in Rotaract.”

Frequently asked questions

Rotary clubs should continue to work with Rotaractors at meetings and events and on service projects.

How were the changes to Rotaract decided on?

For several years, members of the RI Board, The Rotary Foundation Trustees, and Rotary committees, along with Rotarians and Rotaractors around the world, have been discussing how to recognize Rotaract clubs as Rotary clubs’ partners in service. Rotaractors offered their ideas to the Board through RI’s Rotaract Committee, at the annual Rotaract Preconvention, and through online surveys and focus groups. 

Overwhelmingly, Rotaractors said they wanted more flexibility, more products and services, and more recognition from Rotary for the work they’re doing. After the 2019 Council on Legislation voted to recognize Rotaract clubs as a membership type, 2019-20 RI President Mark Daniel Maloney created the Elevate Rotaract Task Force to discuss how to update Rotaract policies and create an inclusive, innovative, and flexible membership experience.

Does this mean Rotaractors automatically become Rotarians?

No. Members of Rotary clubs are Rotarians and members of Rotaract clubs remain Rotaractors. This enactment will not change the separate identity of Rotaractors. 

Do Rotaract clubs have to pay RI membership dues now?

The Board agreed that Rotaract clubs should begin paying per capita dues in 2022 and is looking at ways to offset the cost to members through fundraising and working with sponsor Rotary clubs. The annual cost will be $5 per person for university-based clubs and $8 for community-based clubs.  

Will Rotaractors be able to use Rotary Foundation funds for their projects?

Right now, only Rotary clubs may apply for global and district grants from the Foundation. The Foundation Trustees determine who is eligible to apply for global grants and would review any proposal to allow Rotaract clubs access to Foundation funds. The Trustees encourage Rotaract clubs to work with Rotary clubs on global grant projects. Rotaract clubs can also receive funding from district grants through a Rotary club. As always, Rotaractors can apply for scholarships and Rotary Peace Fellowships through the Foundation.

Why was the upper age limit for Rotaract membership removed?

Rotaract clubs are still intended for younger professionals, but the Elevate Rotaract Task Force and the RI Board decided that it was important to give Rotaractors the flexibility to decide for themselves when they’re ready to leave Rotaract. The majority of Rotaractors surveyed believed that removing the age limit would either improve or not change their club experience and said they would still pursue joining a Rotary club in the future. Rotaract clubs will still be able to set their own age limit.

Will Rotaractors still be encouraged to become Rotarians?

Yes! Rotaractors will be encouraged to join clubs that offer the experience they want at any time. Rotary clubs should continue to work with Rotaractors at meetings and events and on service projects. Since 2016, Rotaractors have been able join a Rotary club while they are still active members of Rotaract clubs; that dual membership option will not change. Rotaractors can also start their own Rotary clubs.

Will Rotaractors be able to serve on or advise the RI Board or Trustees?

The Board and the Trustees value the input of Rotaractors and have recommended that the RI president appoint Rotaractors to committees. They will continue to discuss new ways to involve Rotaractors in the future.

Will Rotaract clubs be counted in Rotary’s overall membership numbers?

No. Rotaract clubs will not be counted in the total number of clubs in a district, and Rotarians and Rotaractors will continue to be counted separately.

Where can I find the revised policies about Rotaract?

Starting 1 July, the Rotary Code of Policies, in chapter II, “Clubs,” will have an updated article 12 titled “Rotaract Clubs.” The policies related to Rotaract that were in chapter V, “Programs,” under article 41.040 will be removed as of 1 July.

https://my.rotary.org/en/recent-rotaract-policy-updates

The 2019 Council on Legislation amended the constitutional documents of Rotary International to include Rotaract clubs as a membership type. After this landmark decision, 2019-20 RI President Mark Daniel Maloney appointed the Elevate Rotaract Task Force, composed of Rotaractors and Rotarians, to recommend updates to policies to better reflect Rotaract’s newly elevated status. At every stage of the task force’s discussions, the critical goals were to learn what Rotaractors want from their membership and to give them every opportunity to shape these important policy decisions through surveys and focus groups.

Below are the notable changes to Rotaract and frequently asked questions about them to help clarify the details of these changes.

Frequently asked questions

How were these decisions made?

For several years, the Board, Trustees, committees, Rotarians, and Rotaractors around the world have been discussing how to elevate Rotaract and recognize Rotaract clubs as Rotary clubs’ partners in service. Rotaractors have offered their ideas to the Board through RI’s Rotaract Committee, at the annual Rotaract Preconvention, and through online surveys and focus groups — and it was time to take action.

Overwhelmingly, we heard that Rotaract was more than just a program and Rotaractors wanted more flexibility, more products and services, and more recognition from Rotary for the amazing work they’re doing in their clubs, districts, and multidistricts. After the 2019 Council on Legislation voted to officially recognize Rotaract clubs as a membership type, the president appointed the Elevate Rotaract Task Force to discuss how to update Rotaract policies to reflect this new status and create an inclusive, innovative, and flexible membership experience.

Why were these decisions made?

Rotarians and Rotaractors have been discussing the importance of Rotaractors as a part of the Rotary family, as people of action, and as an integral part of our new Action Plan. These important decisions reflect the current trends among Rotaract clubs, elevate Rotaract as a membership type alongside Rotary clubs (unique in its identity, club culture, and member benefits), and encourage greater flexibility, innovation, and diversity within Rotaract.

When do these changes take effect?

The changes to the Rotary Code of Policies related to sponsorship and age limits for Rotaract clubs took effect 1 July 2020. However, Rotaract clubs won’t be required to pay dues to Rotary International or be able to participate as sponsors of global grants until 1 July 2022. This gives you time to review and discuss these changes with your club and district. Of course, we know that changes take time to implement, and we encourage clubs and districts to develop plans to update their bylaws and incorporate these changes over time.

Where can we find the policies about Rotaract?

You can find the policies in chapter II, "Clubs," of the Rotary Code of Policies. See Article 12 titled "Rotaract Clubs."

When do we have to update our Rotaract club's constitution and bylaws?

The Standard Rotaract Club Constitution has been updated to reflect the changes related to club sponsorship and age limits for Rotaract clubs, and only the RI Board can amend it. The Standard Rotaract Club Constitution automatically applies to all active Rotaract clubs. The Recommended Rotaract Club Bylaws have also been updated, and clubs are encouraged to customize them to meet their needs.

Why did The Rotary Foundation decide to allow Rotaract clubs to be the sponsors of global grants?

The Trustees recognized that many Rotaract clubs are already doing innovative, sustainable service projects that are aligned with Rotary's areas of focus on scale similar to that of global grant projects, without any funding assistance from The Rotary Foundation. The Trustees believe that allowing Rotaract clubs to sponsor global grants will give them the opportunity to do even more good in the world. Participating in Foundation programs will also encourage Rotaract clubs to fundraise for the World Fund, which will result in even more resources for their clubs and others around the world.

What should district leaders do to prepare for Rotaract clubs' participation in global grants starting 1 July 2022?

District leaders should begin deciding now how to qualify Rotaract clubs to participate in global grants. They might involve Rotaract clubs in training seminars, appoint Rotaract club leaders to support fundraising and grant activity for example. District leaders should also consider whether any changes are needed in how they distribute DDF for global grants to help facilitate Rotaract involvement.

What should Rotaract clubs do to prepare to participate in global grants starting 1 July 2022?

To be eligible to be a host or international sponsor of a global grant, a Rotaract club must complete the following prerequisites: learn about global grants in its district, partner with a Rotary club or district on a global grant, and complete the requirements to become qualified to participate in global grants. It's important that Rotaract club leaders begin communicating now with their district Rotary Foundation chair and other district leaders, because qualification requirements vary by district.

What does it mean that no rights or privileges that Rotaractors had as participants of a Foundation program will be revoked?

The Trustees felt strongly that changes to redefine Rotaract clubs as a membership type rather than a program should not eliminate any rights or privileges of Rotaract clubs or members. Rotaractors will remain eligible to receive global grant scholarships and Rotary Peace Fellowships. Note that a Rotaractor who is involved in designing a grant may not also be the primary beneficiary of that grant.

Why was the upper age limit for Rotaract membership removed?

Rotaract clubs are still intended for younger professionals. Removing the upper age limit of Rotaract membership allows people to choose the club experience they prefer, regardless of their age.

Under the current policy, Rotaractors are often required to leave Rotaract before they’re invited to join a Rotary club or before they feel ready to join one. So, instead, they leave the family of Rotary.

Restricting Rotaract membership to people age 30 or under is perceived differently in different regions. In some places, members are likely to feel that the age limit should be raised. In others, they want it lowered. After careful consideration, the Elevate Rotaract Task Force and the Board decided that it was important to give Rotaractors the flexibility to decide for themselves when they’re ready to leave Rotaract. The majority of Rotaractors we surveyed believed that removing the age limit would either improve or not change their club experience, and they said they would still pursue joining a Rotary club in the future.

Can our Rotaract club have an upper age limit?

Yes. The Board believes Rotaract clubs should be able to offer the experience that their members want. If an upper age limit helps you build a successful club, your club has the freedom to set that limit in your club bylaws, but it must be agreed to by club members and your club sponsor (if you have one).

Can we have an upper age limit for our district Rotaract representative?

How district Rotaract representatives are elected is determined by the district Rotaract committee, and approved by the district governor before elections. The Rotary Code of Policies requires only that the candidate has served as a Rotaract club president or as a member of the district Rotaract committee for one full term before taking office. The clubs in your district can decide together to set an age limit for your district Rotaract representative in your eligibility requirements. Even if it doesn’t set such a limit, your district should encourage younger members to serve in this important leadership role and remind clubs to vote for qualified younger candidates — this gives young professionals an opportunity to grow and lead through Rotaract.

Will Rotaractors still be encouraged to become Rotarians?

Yes, of course! Rotaractors will still be encouraged to join Rotary clubs that offer the club experience they want at any time. Rotary clubs should continue to partner regularly with Rotaractors at meetings and events and on service projects. Inviting a Rotaractor to join the Rotary club will be a natural step when the time is right. Remember that Rotaractors can join a Rotary club while they are still active members of Rotaract clubs, or they can start their own Rotary clubs.

Will Rotary clubs still be able to sponsor Rotaract clubs?

Yes, Rotaract clubs can be sponsored by a Rotary club or clubs or another Rotaract club, or they can organize themselves without a sponsor. This will give clubs greater flexibility to choose the sponsor relationship that best meets their needs and allows for collaboration.

Will Rotaract clubs be able to sponsor other Rotaract clubs?

Yes, a Rotaract club can sponsor another Rotaract club. This gives clubs more flexibility to find the best sponsor relationship to support their needs. Community-based Rotaract clubs will be encouraged to sponsor university-based Rotaract clubs.

How will these changes affect my Rotaract club experience?

These changes might not affect your Rotaract club experience. Rotaract clubs will still be encouraged to partner with Rotary clubs, plan innovative and sustainable local and international service projects, and offer leadership and professional development opportunities for their young professional members. Rotaract clubs will have more flexibility to design a member experience that meets their needs, engage a wider network of young professionals, and develop relationships with clubs that join together more diverse perspectives, professions, and talents.

How will these changes affect my Rotary club experience?

These changes might not affect your Rotary club experience. Rotary clubs will still be encouraged to sponsor and partner with Rotaract clubs, plan service projects with them, and support Rotaractors in honing their leadership and professional skills through collaboration and mentorship. Rotary clubs should still work side by side with Rotaractors in their communities, encourage the development of new Rotaract clubs, and talk to Rotaractors about joining a Rotary club when the time is right.

What will Rotaractors receive in exchange for paying dues?

The Board believes it's important that RI deliver value to Rotaractors even before Rotaract clubs are required to pay dues. Before 1 July 2022, Rotaractors will have access to new leadership development resources from Toastmasters International, updated online goal-setting tools, and improved online club administration tools. Dues collected from Rotaract clubs will support the new and existing products and services and help us to deliver even greater value to our Rotaract members in the future.

How were the dues amounts determined?

In October 2019, all Rotaractors were sent a survey that asked for their opinions about Rotaract dues amounts and calculation methods. More than 9,000 Rotaractors from around the world responded, providing a sample set of data that was far larger than what was needed in order to represent the Rotary world accurately. The Board based both the amount of dues and the method of calculation on Rotaractors' responses to the survey. Review the survey's findings in detail.

Why won't clubs start paying dues until July 2022?

The Board felt strongly that Rotaract clubs should start receiving additional benefits before they begin paying dues to RI. Over the coming years, Rotaract clubs will have access to additional tools and resources at no extra cost. Clubs will begin paying dues 1 July 2022 to sustain these new offerings and allow us to deliver greater value to our Rotaract members in the future.

What if our club can't afford to pay dues to Rotary International?

Although we believe that what Rotaractors will receive in exchange for dues to RI will be worth the cost, we understand that some clubs may struggle to pay any amount in addition to their club and district dues. Over the coming years, we'll help Rotaract clubs plan for this new cost. Strategies clubs might consider include establishing an annual membership fundraiser, asking local businesses or corporate sponsors for contributions, or working with sponsor clubs to offset the cost of dues. Clubs should also make sure that all of their club officers and members are reported to Rotary so that they can receive regular updates and tips as they plan for these changes.

Why are there membership goals for Rotaract now?

Just as clubs set goals to ensure that they continue to grow and thrive, setting membership goals for Rotaract as a whole is vital to ensure its success in the future. It’s more important than ever to understand the global impact of Rotaract and encourage clubs and districts to set ambitious goals that will help them engage even more young professionals in service and leadership through Rotaract.

Greetings All:

Thank you for your message! My apologies for the confusion, but beginning on 1 July 2022, Rotary discontinued the requirement for Rotaract certification fees. Instead, potential Rotaract clubs are asked to complete and submit the current Rotaract club application as well as the charter member list. We've attached a copy of the New Rotaract Club Application to this reply. Once completed, it can be returned to your Club and District Support representative for review and processing.

Rotaract membership dues are dependent on the club base and collected annually. For university-based clubs, the amount is US$5.00 per member. For community-based clubs, the amount is US$8.00 per member. More information can be found on the Club Invoice FAQ page on My Rotary: https://my.rotary.org/club-invoice-faq

After the elevation of Rotaract in 2019, a Rotaract club is no longer required to have a sponsor club but is certainly welcome to if they want to enjoy the guidance and support that one offers. More information can be found in the attached application form.

If you have any questions specific to the process, we'll encourage you to reach out to your CDS Representative who can guide you through!

Best regards,

Rotary's Club and District Support team

Subject: Cost of starting a new Rotaract eClub.

Hi Rotaract Support Team,

The Rotary Contact Center explained that the cost to start a new Rotaract club is $50.

Are member dues owed every year, and if so, what is the dues amount?

PS: Regarding page   https://my.rotary.org/en/manage/club-district-administration/club-administration    I reported to the Contact Center that the Rotaract Club Certification Form button is not working.  She confirmed that it is not working and will pass the information on to the IT dept. She emailed a downloadable, fillable pdf, o that is all set.

However, the link "About Rotaract Club Sponsorship" is also not working.  Could you email the Rotaract sponsorship information or Rotaract Handbook to Lawrence_Penna@yahoo.com.    THANKS

Thanks,

Lawrence A. (Lon) Penna, Secretary, Niskayuna Rotary
