2019 COUNCIL ON LEGISLATION ESSENTIAL CHANGES FOR CLUBS AND DISTRICTS
After Council on Legislation, RI put together a document that describes some of the changes that clubs or districts will see with the start of the 2019-20 Rotary Year.
A few things to note:
Attendance Make ups. Rotarians can make up for an absence at their club meeting within the same Rotary year. (19-35)
Club Finances Financial reporting. The annual meeting for the election of officers includes the club’s mid-year financial report with current and previous year income and expenses. (19-24)
Club dues increased. In 2019-20, member dues are 34.00 per half year. To improve service to clubs, RI semiannual dues were increased by $.50 for each of the next three years — to US$34.50 per half year in 2020-2021, US$35.00 per half year in 2021-2022 and US$35.50 per half year in 2022-2023. (19-82)
Rotaract clubs. Just like Rotary clubs, Rotaract clubs are now members of Rotary International. While there are no operational changes for Rotaract clubs or the Rotary clubs that sponsor them, this provision elevates the status of Rotaract clubs and allows RI to increase support and resources to help them grow. (19-72)
