We’re pleased to introduce ARCHIE, your new Rotary Leadership Advisor— a trusted, confidential aide designed to help you lead effectively, stay aligned with Rotary International (RI) policy, and deliver an outstanding Rotary year.
ARCHIE is not a replacement for people — it’s a reference tool that helps you quickly find accurate, RI-approved information across all official Rotary documents, including:
- Lead Your Club
- Planning Guide
- Manual of Procedure
- Rotary International Bylaws & Constitution
- Rotary Code of Policies
- Standard Rotary Club Constitution
ARCHIE reads and consults these sources first — exactly as RI intended — to ensure that the guidance you receive is safe, compliant, and consistent with Rotary policy.
THE HUMAN TOUCH COMES FIRST
AI should never replace your personal leadership, relationships, or judgment.
Rotary’s strength has always been — and always will be — its people. ARCHIE exists to support you, not to speak for you.
Rotary’s strength has always been — and always will be — its people. ARCHIE exists to support you, not to speak for you.
If you ever face:
· A legal, financial, or youth protection issue,
· A governance dispute, or
· A crisis or emergency,
Your first action must always be to contact Rotary International’s Club and District Support (CDS).
They remain the authoritative source for RI interpretation and assistance.
How ARCHIE Helps You:
- Provides clear, RI-aligned answers to questions about policy, governance, Foundation, membership, or public image
- Draft communications, agendas, or templates consistent with Rotary’s brand voice
- Summarizes and cross-references RI policy quickly so you can focus on people, not paperwork
- Flags risks and provides escalation paths when local policy conflicts with RI rules
