July in your club invoice, U.S. Rotarians pay for insurance through the U.S. Club and District Insurance Program. As part of a review of this
Insurance Program, over 6,600 U.S. club presidents and district insurance representatives were invited to participate in a survey in November -
December 2016. Rotary's Operations Review Committee met at the end of March to discuss the results and we wanted to update you on the
findings.</p> <p>First, we send a sincere <b>thank you</b> to the 2,007 U.S. club officers and district insurance
representatives who participated -- a 29.8% response rate! From the survey responses, we learned that most are satisfied with the Insurance
Program:</p> <ul> <li>The vast majority agree that the U.S. Club and District Insurance Program saves
clubs time, effort and money. In the comments, a U.S. Rotarian said, "Excellent program and great to know it's in place and meets our
club's needs."</li> </ul> <p>We heard about an opportunity for improvement -- awareness and knowledge of
the Insurance Program. A respondent commented in the survey, "Most club members have a vague idea about the coverage but lack knowledge
about the specifics."</p> <ul> <li>A slight majority said that they had heard of the Insurance
Program prior to receiving the survey invitation, but <i>only</i> 26% felt sufficiently informed about it.</li> </ul>
<p>The survey results revealed insights, including recommendations from participants, to raise awareness:</p> <ul>
<li>Almost all (95%) said that districts play an important role in informing clubs about the program. When asked for
recommendations, a U.S. Rotarian wrote, "It's not so much what Rotary needs to do, but rather what districts could do."</li>
<li>Many recommended more emphasis on the Insurance Program in president-elect training. According to respondents, only 41% of districts
<i>currently</i> cover the Insurance Program during PETS / Multi-District PETS.</li> <li>Program information needs to be
given to additional club roles: Respondents reported that treasurers and secretaries are even more likely than club presidents to handle
insurance coverage and insurance questions.</li> </ul> <p>Using the feedback gathered through the survey,
Rotary is currently developing a communications plan to better inform clubs about the program. Where possible, Rotary is also taking immediate
steps to improve. Examples include:</p> <ul> <li>This Update email is being sent to 2016-17 and
2017-18 club treasurers and club secretaries as well as club presidents and presidents-elect.</li> <li>Rotary's Risk
Management team has prepared a new <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/92671795:7P4HiGbN5:m:1:995308260:7C633579EC2E2ABD8514417B334B9F7B:r" target="_blank">U.S. Club and District Liability
