REGIONAL MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

Article by Barbara Mifsud, Regional Membership Officer, Membership Development, South Pacific and
Ph ilippines Office, barbara.mifsud@rotary.org, https://www.facebook.com/barbara.mifsud.1

NEW! WEBINAR ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION (DEI) IN ROTARY
The COVID-19 pandemic and anti-racism demonstrations are calling out global inequities and the need
for social justice. It’s critical that Rotary be an organization inclusive of all cultures, experiences, and
identities. Check out the recording of the recent webinar, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Rotary: How
are we Doing? to hear from Rotarians at the forefront of change. You’ll also learn about Rotary’s DEI
progress, and be equipped with tools to create a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization. Share this link with
your district. Encourage each club to register, watch the recording, and discuss how they can enhance their DEI efforts.
UPDATE! ROTARACT DATA INCLUDED IN MEMBERSHIP REPORTS
As we celebrate the expansion of Rotary membership to include Rotaract clubs, we want to make sure they are reflected in
our membership reports. Therefore, Rotaract data has been added many of the existing reports. The changes are listed in
the grid below, but please feel free to reach out with any questions.
DISTRICT
Reports Important Changes
Each tab of the report has data sectioned by club-type
Clubs and Members in Your District List
(Rotary or Rotaract Clubs) made explicit by a subheading
All clubs are displayed in a list by district, Rotaract clubs
are listed with an asterisk sign *
Note: the report currently defaults to show totals for both
Clubs in a District Rotaractors and Rotarians in the district. You can toggle
to choose club type but work is underway to update this
report so that each club type and their membership counts
are presented separately.

1 JULY 2020 MEMBERSHIP START FIGURES AND REPORTS
The 1 July 2020 membership figures are now available. These figures are based on the membership data that clubs
submitted to Rotary through 1 July 2020. Adjustments will not be made if clubs submitted membership information after
that date. Please keep in mind, new members added on or before 30 June will count toward the prior Rotary year, while
members added with 1 July effective dates will count toward the current Rotary year.
To view the club and district data, sign into your My Rotary account and click on Rotary Club Central. The dashboard
defaults to your club’s membership trends. For district trends, click on ‘My District’. You can also view Zone and worldwide
trends. I encourage you to view these reports (to access them, click on ‘Reports’ on the left-hand navigation and then scroll
down):
