Hybrid Meetings - How to.....

Covid19 has presented many challenges to Rotary Clubs around the world but also equally many wonderful new opportunities. Clubs have been thrust quickly into a new technological era with remote Zoom Meetings and have met the challenge head on with success.
Zoom has afforded us a safe way to continue our work in the community and the opportunity to hear from speakers from around the globe. With in person meetings once again being held, clubs now have an opportunity to run live and virtual meetings allowing those members uncomfortable or not able to attend a chance to still be involved.
A link to a guide to running Hybrid meetings prepared by the District 9810 TechCom team is provided to assist clubs.

Frequently Asked Questions

 
        Can you search for a member without selecting a club?
Yes, the search is quite flexible. You only need to put in minimal information (even just a partial name) and it will find all members who match what you enter.
 
How do we get our login name in the first place?
Initial login names are allocated by the system and take the form ‘FirstnameLastnameNumber’. If you don’t know what yours is, click on the ‘New user?’ or ‘Forgot login name?’ links, fill out the form that pops up and you will receive an email telling you how to log in. The email address you use for this must be the one you have registered on the database. If you have any problems, contact the Website administrator.
 
Once you have logged in, you may change your login name to something of your own choice, using the ‘Edit My Profile’ function.
 
Is the CR log in case sensitive? Mine seems to be.
No, your login name is not case sensitive, but your password is.
 
How do you update the 80-page member list if incorrect?
If you see data about yourself that is incorrect, you can fix it in your own profile. Just remember, any changes you make will need to be saved. If it is about another member, ask the member or one of their club executives to fix it.
 
The PDF member list is updated on the first day of each month. Any changes made will not be reflected in the file until the next month.
 
Is there a Dummies guide to ClubRunner?
It can look complicated, but it's really quite easy.  Just keep looking around and you'll find what you want. There is lots of online help and tutorials available from ClubRunner – scroll to the bottom of the District 9810 home page and click on the online help link to access. You can also always contact the website administrators for assistance.
 
Club Administration
        Do we ask members to update their details in ClubRunner or My Rotary?
From a District point of view, we prefer clubs and members to record information on the ClubRunner database, but all are free to record information either there or on the My Rotary site. Whichever way it happens, we recommend that Club presidents / secretaries / membership chairs should regularly check the ‘RI Member Synchronization’ form to find and fix any anomalies.
 
Note that not every change is automatically synchronised. Read this article to find out more: https://www.clubrunnersupport.com/article/412-supported-types-of-changes
Note also that, at least for now, Rotaract and Satellite club data are not synchronised with RI.
 
 Is there a time delay from the RI My Rotary to details going to Club Runner?
 Some changes may appear almost instantly, but others may take a little longer until they are automatically synchronised.
 
What's the best time to record new Office Bearers?
Office bearers for the next Rotary year may be recorded any time prior to 30th June each year. Any changes to current year office bearers should be recorded as and when they happen.
 
Do we need to keep a register of attendees at meetings?
District does not require this data – it is up to each club whether they record attendance or not.
 
If a member wants to keep their address private can we leave that blank?
ClubRunner has provision for two addresses – personal and business. At least one of these is required. If members do not want to disclose their private address, they may record a PO box, or their work address, or even the meeting place of their club.
 
ClubRunner Phone App
        What is the app name?
 The App name is ClubRunner.
 
How do we get the Club Runner app on our phone?
The ClubRunner app is available for download from the Android or Apple App store, depending on what type of phone you have. 
 
Is there an RI app?
There is a Club Locator app, but nothing equivalent to the ClubRunner app for the whole of RI. More information may be found here: https://my.rotary.org/en/manage/community-marketplace/official-rotary-apps
