It’s almost time to evaluate 2023-2024 Rotary club service projects. We will need all the service projects evaluated and marked completed on the district web site by 8 am on ______________________________. Time really is of the essence, and we need your experience to identify the Club of the Year and Runner Up!
In order to prepare our District Conference Awards to meet established due dates, we are requesting our AG's evaluate and score a number of service projects submitted by our clubs. Your scores determine all Service Awards, Club of The Year and Club Runner Up of the Year. You will have seven days to Judge the clubs’ submitted Service Projects for this year’s Awards.
Determination of District Service Project awards, Club of the Year and Club Runner-Up of the Year depends on each of you.
To access the service project evaluations please see the following:
- Logon to the District web site - rotary6900.org for evaluating and scoring.
- On the district home page blue banner, click on the Rotary wheel to the right of the word Clubs.
- Look for “Projects" (3rd column from the left) then click on "Evaluations”. You will be taken to the PROJECT EVALUATION page. Here's the link: Evaluations
- There you will find the block “Evaluators”. Choose your name from the filter box at the top of the Evaluators column. That will reduce the list to just those projects you need to evaluation. (The system may have already done this for you.)
- For each of your projects, click the pencil (update) icon at the end of the row. Read about the project, then score the project 1 (low rating) to 10 (high rating) for each factor. Score each project as if it has been completed. Score only the project, do not score updates or recurring projects.
