ACTION PLANNING 1. Select one of your regional leader goals. As you begin crafting your action plan, think about the benefits of the goal, perhaps by asking why Rotary wants to achieve it and how your region and each district would benefit from it. Then, decide what steps to take to achieve each goal. Consider who in your regional leader team will work with you, which district leaders to involve, and the timeline you will follow. 2. Identify support and resources. Think of resources you will use to achieve your goals and to measure your progress. Identify strategies to keep others accountable for their assignments. 3. Continue your action planning and show your goals. Use the additional grids to continue to set targets for all of your goals and work on action plans for each. Show your completed plans to your regional leader team.
