Week 15: Tip of the Week

#15. Did you know that your club can instantly report member data changes directly to Rotary International?

Automate your reporting processes and avoid duplication of efforts by sending updates of your club’s membership roster to Rotary International. Under the Membership Manager section, click on "Report Data Changes to RI", select the member record to verify by clicking on “open”, review the information and click send. If your district is online with ClubRunner, once member profile changes are made, it is immediately registered on the district site.

For more information about reporting to RI, visit the official ClubRunner website.
