Marblehead Harbor Rotary
Goals and Strategies for 2024-25
Every member's ideas, suggestions and passions are listed below
so there are some repetitions and duplications.
As you will notice, there is an important relationship presented in the goal categories. All the goals ultimately support each other,
ie. everything supports membership growth and retention; membership growth supports more service opportunities,
more service opportunities provide more public image opportunites, etc.
Our next steps will be to select specific ideas – perhaps one from each category? – and begin working on making them happen.
This is a blueprint for an exciting, purposeful 2024-25!
