Is Your "Flags For Heroes" Event Leaving Money on the Table?

As I visited clubs, a recurring question arose about the role of the vice president in a Rotary club. In response, I consistently shared that the role of Club Vice President is undefined by Rotary International. This lack of rigid definition provides clubs with significant flexibility to mold the responsibilities of the vice president according to their unique needs. Broadly speaking, within the Rotary community, these responsibilities typically align with three overarching categories.

Supporting the President: At its core, the primary mission of the vice president is to offer support to the president. Contrary to being an automatic stepping stone to the presidency, this role serves as a rich training ground for emerging club leaders. The responsibilities span a spectrum of tasks, including:

• presiding over meetings in the president's absence;
• acting as an "officer at large" on the club's board of directors and ex-officio member of committees;
• ensuring the club meets required deadlines;
• staying abreast of the club’s goals and ongoing activities;
• handling special assignments from the president.
