Info

6.5.3 Vice President The Vice President shall support the President on overlooking the work of the MDIO and making sure that all the guidelines are being followed and deadlines being met. This person will follow up with the different coordinators to make sure they have all the support they need to do their tasks successfully and provide trainings when needed or requested from the executive board. Nominees to the Vice President position must be past DRRs, past Country Representatives, or past members of the Med MDIO executive board. 6.5.4 Rotary Delegate The incoming Rotary Delegate at the Med MDIO is nominated and assigned by the current executive board after studying the presented candidatures. His/Her task is to supervise the activities of the Med MDIO and to check that the work meets the Rotary International Guidelines. He/She has to be 40 years old or younger. 6.5.5 International Coordinator The aim of the International Coordinator is to encourage and foster the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace. Freedom, justice, truth, sanctity of the pledged word, and respect for human rights are inherent in Rotary principles and are also vital to the maintenance of international peace and order and to human progress. The Med MDIO defends the rule of law and order to preserve liberty of the individual so that all may enjoy freedom of thought, speech, and assembly; freedom from persecution and aggression; and freedom from want and fear. These ideals and values shall be communicated to all the Districts around the world who are invited to share information and project ideas with the Med MDIO and to work on common goals whenever possible. The International Coordinator shall help the organization in promoting international events and opportunities for the Mediterranean Rotaractors to participate in such as RI Preconvention, RYLAs, District Conferences, and MDIO Conferences around the globe. This person coordinates a Med MDIO community project based on Mediterranean Cooperation and coordinates the outstanding project and peace awards. Community Project: The Med MDIO should determine top priorities for service projects by first learning about a community's needs and assets, and then developing a response that addresses them. There are no limitations on the service project type as long as it serves a common interest for clubs in the Mediterranean region. Funds for the project are to be raised by the clubs interested in joining the cause of the project and not by the Med MDIO. The purpose of this committee is to encourage the protection of the artistic heritage of the Mediterranean which is shared by all the members of this MDIO. Member districts are also encouraged to work on the preservation of the environment especially the marine environment which represents a very important common element to all the inhabitants of the Med MDIO. Awards: The Med MDIO executive board should approve International Coordinator’s procedures and deadlines to the awards. Then, the International Coordinator should get those procedures executed before their deadlines.
6.5.6 Communications Coordinator This person is responsible for editing all Med MDIO publications and working with Rotaractors from the Mediterranean on developing the content. The coordinator is in constant contact with Mediterranean clubs to enhance their communication and to promote their projects through using all the tools of the Med MDIO, in collaboration with the Med MDIO Social Media Coordinator. Together they will work on keeping the website of the Med MDIO updated as well as all the social media tools available for the advancement of the goals and objectives of the organization. The coordinator will also work on the image of the multi-district organization and help other coordinators give the needed input to keep the website and social media updated. The communications coordinator is responsible for the editing and publication of the Med MDIO annual issue of the printed newsletter. The issue will be printed and distributed at the MEDICON. It will feature a dedicated section for the top ten projects applying for the Mediterranean Outstanding Project Award and Mediterranean Peace Award and a dedicated section for the Med MDIO projects. He/She also has the task of preparing the Mediterranean Directory that contains contact information of all the Med MDIO district teams and club board members. 6.5.7 Social Media Coordinator The Social Media coordinator will work on keeping the website of the Med MDIO updated as well as all the social media tools available for the advancement of the goals and objectives of the organization.

Rotaract Med MDIO Service Projects Rotaract sponsored service projects involving clubs in two or more districts may be implemented provided that such projects: • They are, in nature and scope, within the capability of the clubs and Rotaractors in the districts to be successfully undertaken without interfering with or distracting from the scope and effectiveness of club activities; • They shall involve the participation of Rotaract clubs and/or individual Rotaractors on a voluntary basis, clearly presented as such; the cost of participation of a club or individual Rotaractor, if any, should be kept to a minimum and not be implicitly or directly made an obligation in the form of a per capita tax, or assessment or otherwise. • Adopted by the MDIO only when two thirds of the board agrees on the idea as presented by any club or individual officially through an email either to the President or to the Service Coordinator. 7.1 Med MDIO Outstanding Project Awards Every year, the Country Representatives have to elect the three best projects of the Mediterranean Area. The evaluation criteria is set during the Meeting of Mediterranean Rotaract by the Awards Committee made up from volunteering members of the executive board after being called upon by the President. The volunteering executive board members should not be Country Representatives. The proposed projects for the competition have to be sent by the clubs not later than two months before the MEDICON to the Med MDIO International Coordinator. One month before the MEDICON, each Country Representative has to submit his/her evaluation for each project based on the criteria defined in the M2R. Depending on the evaluation of the Country Representatives, the best three projects are selected and are granted the awards during the MEDICON. Country Representatives cannot grade projects of their own country. Projects are to be club-based. No district projects are allowed to run for the awards.
