[![[Rotary Policy Advisor Screenshot 2024-06-02 101758.png]]](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-WvJHAsYHl-rotary-policy-advisor) ## ChatGPT Account If you do not yet have a ChatGPT account, you can create one when you first click on the above link. There is no cost associated with a free account, and you can use it to use not just this Rotary Policy Advisor, but also [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) in general. This Rotary Policy Advisor AI has been trained on all of the latest [Rotary International governance documents](https://my.rotary.org/en/learning-reference/about-rotary/governance-documents) (as of the end of May 2024). And I plan to update it every couple of month going forward. ## Examples You can easily verify that by asking the AI about the latest Code of Policies it knows about: ![[RPA Latest Version Screenshot 2024-06-02 101953.png]] When you first open the Rotary Policy Advisor GPT, it suggests a couple of questions that you might want to ask it: - How does the Manual of Procedure address conflict resolution? - What does the RI Code of Policies say about fundraising? - Explain a clause in the RI constitution. - Guide me on applying a specific bylaw in my Rotary Club. And you can, of course, ask any question about facts, terms, roles, etc. that you might want to learn about: ![[DRFC Term Screenshot 2024-06-02 104603.png]] ### Longer Example For a more complex and hands-on example, please see the following conversation, which shows incredible insight and detail for a use-case that may present itself in a typical Rotary Club: #### Question How do I handle a conflict between a long-term member of my Rotary Club who is also a major donor, and a new member who identifies as they/them and only recently joined. The new member expressed concerns that he feels unwelcomed by the long-term member who continuously misgenders them by addressing them as he/him. What Rotary policies do I need to consider here? #### Answer Handling this situation requires a balance of sensitivity, adherence to Rotary policies, and ensuring an inclusive and respectful environment for all members. The key Rotary policies relevant to this situation include those related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and the general expectations of member conduct. ##### Relevant Rotary Policies 1. **Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)**: - Rotary International emphasizes creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture. This includes respecting the identity and experiences of all members, regardless of gender identity. - As per the Rotary Code of Policies, clubs should strive to create an inclusive environment where every individual feels respected and valued. 2. **Code of Conduct**: - Rotary members are expected to act with integrity, treat each other with respect, and foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. - Discriminatory behavior or harassment, including misgendering someone after they have expressed their preferred pronouns, goes against Rotary’s values and Code of Conduct. 3. **Conflict Resolution**: - Rotary provides guidelines for handling conflicts within clubs. Encouraging open communication and mediation to resolve differences is crucial. ##### Steps to Address the Conflict 1. **Private Conversations**: - Have a private conversation with both the long-term member and the new member separately to understand their perspectives. - Inform the long-term member about the new member's concerns regarding misgendering and explain the importance of respecting their preferred pronouns. 2. **Education and Awareness**: - Educate club members on the importance of using correct pronouns and respecting each member’s identity. This can be done through meetings, training sessions, or distributing educational materials on DEI. - Highlight Rotary's commitment to diversity and inclusion, emphasizing how this enhances the club’s strength and cohesion. 3. **Mediation**: - Arrange a mediated discussion between the long-term member and the new member, if both parties are willing, to foster understanding and find a respectful resolution. - Ensure that the mediator is someone neutral who can facilitate a constructive dialogue. 4. **Policy Reinforcement**: - Reinforce Rotary's DEI policies during club meetings and communications. Ensure that all members are aware of and adhere to these policies. - Implement club-level policies or guidelines that promote inclusive behavior and address conflicts respectfully and effectively. 5. **Support Systems**: - Provide ongoing support to both members. For the new member, ensure they feel welcomed and valued in the club. - Offer resources or training for the long-term member to understand the importance of respecting gender identities. ##### Specific Policies to Reference - **Rotary Code of Policies, Section on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion**: Outlines the commitment to creating an inclusive environment. - **Rotary International Constitution, Article on Membership**: Emphasizes equal rights and non-discrimination. - **Rotary Club Bylaws and Constitution**: Ensure these documents reflect the club's commitment to DEI and provide procedures for addressing conflicts and discriminatory behavior. By addressing the issue with empathy, educating members, and reinforcing Rotary’s policies on inclusion and respect, you can help foster a harmonious and welcoming club environment for all members. > [!caution] As useful as AI systems can be for providing initial guidance, ChatGPT can make mistakes, so please make sure you always double-check the answers if it is a critically important issue you are dealing with! --- # References - [Rotary Policy Advisor GPT](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-WvJHAsYHl-rotary-policy-advisor) - [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) - [OpenAI](https://openai.com/) - [Rotary International governance documents](https://my.rotary.org/en/learning-reference/about-rotary/governance-documents)
