Rotary eClubs

E-clubs are more than a quick fix for a missed meeting. Their members pay dues, carry out community service projects, and work much like any other club, except that a website serves as their meeting place. During online meetings, e-club members can use Web cameras and microphones, which allow them to see and hear each other. Also, e-clubs can either be fully online or only partial e-clubs. The partial arrangement is a good option for Rotary clubs that still want to meet in person. Often, members participate in local community service projects as part of their club membership requirements.

Of the 200 participating clubs in the Meeting Frequency pilot project, most have elected to meet twice a month, with a few taking off the summer months, and others meeting more than once a week in various locations. The RI Board is interested in how the frequency of a club's meeting affects factors such as membership development and retention, attendance, service projects, participation in The Rotary Foundation, and leadership.
