How District 6250 Clubs Can Shape Rotary Through the 2026 Council on Resolutions
Rotary belongs to its members, and every club has a voice in shaping its future. The annual Council on Resolutions gives Rotary districts worldwide an opportunity to share ideas and influence the direction of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.
The 2026 proposed resolutions are now available for review. District 6250 clubs are encouraged to read the proposals and share their perspectives with our district representative, PDG Edwin Bos.
What is the Council on Resolutions?
The Council on Resolutions is Rotary’s annual online forum for considering formal requests for action by the Rotary International Board of Directors or The Rotary Foundation Trustees. Resolutions may recommend new programs, policy reviews or further study of issues affecting Rotary. Adopted resolutions are forwarded to the Board or Trustees for consideration.
How is it different from the Council on Legislation?
- Council on Resolutions: Meets online annually. Adopted resolutions request action or consideration by the Board or Trustees.
- Council on Legislation: Meets in person every three years. It considers enactments that can change Rotary’s constitutional documents and become Rotary law.
How can your club participate?
- Review the resolutions. Read the 2026 proposals at my.rotary.org/en/document/council-on-resolutions-proposed-resolutions.
- Discuss them with your club. Consider which proposals could benefit Rotary and its members.
- Share your feedback. Send your club’s comments and recommendations to Edwin Bos at edwin@bosdesignbuilders.com by October 23, 2026. Edwin will represent District 6250’s perspectives.
Looking ahead
Clubs can also begin developing ideas for future resolutions. Proposals may be submitted by Rotary clubs, districts and other authorized Rotary bodies. The annual process offers an opportunity to bring important ideas and concerns to the attention of Rotary’s international leadership.
