—excerpts from www.Rotary 5950.org
Rotary International unveiled its improved Rotary.org on August 26. There are two distinct versions of the website, one for Rotarians and one for the general public.
My Rotary (for members): All members will be encouraged to register when visiting the site. Members will be able to better engage through their own customized experience based on their interests, and conduct their Rotary business more easily than ever before.
The new website eliminates the need for the Member Access Portal (MAP). If currently registered in MAP, simply re-register when first visiting the site and then access tools previously located in MAP, such as the ability to make district appointments, Rotary Club Central, etc.
Rotary.org (for the general public): The public site tells our story in a fresh, streamlined way, encouraging people to get to know Rotary and learn about all the great work Rotarians do all over the world.
The website has been entirely rebuilt, grouping items more logically. For example, tools such as membership and contribution reports are now conveniently located under a tab called Manage. The website’s search engine is now powered by Google.
Rotary Foundation Grants: Functionality used on the Rotary Grants microsite is merged into the new site so everything is in one place.
Security: The new launch adopts industry-leading security measures to manage members’ IDs and passwords. Any MAP user from the last year will go through an abbreviated re-registration process.
The new website uses some of the latest browser capabilities. Because of that, visitors to the site will need to be on modern browsers. Whatever browser you prefer to use, we recommend you upgrade to the latest version to have the best experience possible.
Take some time to explore the new site and provide feedback on your experience. What do you like? What could be better? The more feedback you give, the more we can do to ensure your online experience is positive. Please send your feedback and questions to website@rotary.org.
