Developing a Vision for an organisation is a common and formal practice in commerce(and other enterprises).  It seeks to synthesize objectives and ideas of participants in that entity to frame a future goal(s) and establish action plans aimed at achieving that goal.   Although a way of defining focus and targets  it is a dynamic thing and should be regularly reviewed.   
 
Last Sunday afternoon Hawthorn Rotary undertook such an exercise, all members were invited to attend.   With help from District people, those who attended looked three years forward tossing around ideas on what membership, club administration, service projects, Foundation interaction and HRC public perception would/should look like.    It was an intense productive few hours. 
 
Any idea was cataloged.  Creative thoughts abounded promoting much discussion.   Thereafter each member's view on the ranking of each, in terms of merit and applicability, was sought.  
 
 
 
Certain key points coalesced on the whiteboards and will provide a basis for a committee to analyze and recommend actions and objectives for the club.
 
This will be outlined to the broader membership at a usual lunch meeting in late April.
