Q: What are the parameters on cooperation of the Rotary Club of Manila with other organizations?

A: The following item in the Code of Policies is authoritative:

“7.3 Cooperation with Other Organizations Partnerships and alliances are considered to be longer term relationships which may or may not be tied to specific events, with another organization which RCM, may forge subject to Board’s approval and periodic review to ensure relevance and propriety of continuing with such relationship. Sponsorships are considered to be short-term, event-specific relationships with another organization which benefit RCM in image-enhancing, promotional, monetary or other ways. Each sponsorship relationship should terminate with the completion of the sponsored event. RCM may support and cooperate with other organizations in specific projects and activities provided that: RCM’s autonomy as an independent organization is preserved; appropriate recognition for RCM is obtained, to the extent that it is STD; RCM does not accept an ongoing financial obligation to the organization, but provides opportunities for RCM to review and decide upon continuing support of such projects or activities; and RCM does not become a member of the cooperating organization.”
