Sequim Sunrise Rotary - New Leadership Plan

Rotary International developed new and different organizational guidelines that Sequim Sunrise Rotary implemented beginning in RY06-07. This is referred to as the "New Leadership Plan" which organized the club into 6 functional groupings (committees), each with a Director position on the Club Board of Directors. Prior to this, Rotary International and club members often referred to the "Four Avenues of Service" and Sequim Sunrise Rotary was organized along "avenues of servicer" lines.

Under the "New Leadership Plan," there is a Board of Directors as follows:

President

Vice-President (the Immediate Past President)

President-Elect

Secretary

Treasurer

6 Committee Directors:

Director, Club Administration

Director, Membership

Director, Public Relations

Director, Rotary Foundation

Director, Special Projects

Director, Youth

The following is the table of organization as originally developed during RY06-07:

NOTE: The Club President has overall leadership responsibility during the Rotary Year (July 1 to June 30), including but not limited to the following specific duties:
