Growing the club

A vision for your club

Knowing where your club is going is a critical step in having a successful term as president. Visions should focus on what you want the club to look like or be at the end of your term. They do not have to be detailed, that will come when you set goals and create a success plan.
Many presidents set a theme to assist them with forming a vision. They turn to the Distinguished Club program as well. Here are various visions that can be used:
 

  • The club will earn a specific level of the Distinguished Club Program

  • The club will be a supportive environment for members to reach their speaking and leadership goals.
