As a Rotary Specialist (Membership) I bring extensive experience in and a decidedly collaborative approach to establishing, developing and sustaining entities from startups to established national organisations, from community groups and not-for-profits to government agencies. In Rotary I have particular expertise, having conceived and established, working with Rotarian colleagues with complementary technical skill, the Rotary Club of Mana Tangata, a ‘master’ club with several autonomous, dispersed Chapters formed by Clubs that merged with Mana Tangata, otherwise they would for various reasons have wound down. While Chapters manage their own affairs and finances, and continue actively to serve their communities, governance and compliance is provided by the Club along with annual reporting on behalf of the Club, and its Chapters. I am already providing advice and practical guidance to several clubs and clusters as this Club model is attracting growing interest in NZ, Australia and beyond in the UK.
