Business Advice Resources

McLean is pleased to provide resources to its customers in the following categories:

 

Community Service

Through our involvement with Rotary International, we've been made aware of these resources that assist in the planning and carrying out of community service projects:

  • Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects (605A-EN) is Rotary's comprehensive guide to selecting, planning, implementing, and evaluating effective service projects in a community. The revised version includes new sections about project liability and protection, tips on promoting projects, updated information about RI programs and resources, and a new project submission form.
  • A Menu of Service Opportunities (605B-EN) includes information sheets on important social issues such as literacy, poverty, hunger, health, and the environment. It highlights Rotary's approach to addressing these areas, tips for taking action, and Rotary stories from the field. Look for extensive lists of online resources for each issue, as well as a new section on Rotary and the UN Millennium Development Goals. It can serve as an excellent resource for presentations at club meetings or district training events.
  • Community Assessment Tools (605C-EN), a new publication, is designed to provide clubs with some simple tools to evaluate needs in their communities and improve the effectiveness of their service projects. This resource provides eight session guides for carrying out practical and low-cost community needs assessments. In addition, it's an excellent resource to help clubs understand their community better and identify hidden assets that might contribute to a project's success.
