Welcome to the Rotarians for Mine Action

District Chapters & Club Champions

What is a RFMA District Chapter?

A Chapter is a policy and coordinating group, made up of RFMA members, within a District.
Its role is to:

Keep the District Governor informed of progress;
Build awareness of the landmine issue in the District through sending emails to
Champions, and identifying speakers within the District;
Build membership for RFMA either directly or through the Champions;
Learn more about landmine action and Rotary activities such as limb centres.
Serve as District liaison with RFMA.
Provide advice and support for District-wide mine action including recommending type
of mine action and country to benefit.
Recommend projects to be funded and report results back through the Champions;
Build a network of Club Champions to promote and support mine action activities (see below);

How do we establish a RFMA District Chapter?

1. The Chapter starts with someone prepared to provide mine action leadership in the
District;
2. Recruitment of members may include strategic (such as including a former Governor,
former WCS Chairs) and geographic (regional representatives within the District).
3. To contact RFMA to get a list of current RFMA members in their district

What is a Club Champion?

A Champion is a Rotarian who:

Is in a District with a RFMA Chapter, or who first agrees to organize a Chapter.
Raises awareness of the landmine issue within the Club;
promotes RFMA membership within a Club;
serves as Club liaison with the RFMA District Chapter;
encourages Club participation in Night of A Thousand Dinners.

How do we recruit Club Champions?

1. Send emails to past Club President's asking them to serve (copy of sample email below);
2. If past-President's are not prepared to serve ask them to suggest someone;
3. Another alternative is to ask the current President to nominate someone;
4. You may be referred to the WCS Chair - encourage them to suggest someone but
bear in mind that they tend to be overburdened themselves.
