Over a two year period
District 5030 Rotary Foundation Qualification One Negative Future Vision Website, “Rotarians Matter Most,” believes that... “Club Officers will have to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with potential onerous legal consequences” One of our Future Vision Leaders, Jim Moore, responds... “The idea that holding clubs & districts accountable for responsibly managing their project funds is a burden is very misguided. Moreover, identifying the indicators of project success and monitoring them can only improve the sustainability and effectiveness of Rotarians' investment of time & treasure. I would tell anyone who asks about these issues that these FV requirements are designed to significantly increase accountability and opportunities for project success. It makes no sense to object to these improvements.”
