Multi District Information Organizations

Rotaract multidistrict organizations, frequently called Multidistrict Information Organizations (MDIOs), function as regional centers of information and resources for Rotaractors. They comprise Rotaract clubs in two or more districts, within a country or encompass several countries. MDIOs are formed to disseminate information while facilitating communication among Rotaract clubs in the participating districts. Rotaract MDIOs are an excellent vehicle for communication program updates, local and international news and events, and uniting Rotaractors from different clubs and districts within a particular region. MDIOs frequently offer Rotaractors information in the form of publications, Internet services and direct links with Rotary International staff. See the Worldwide Rotaract Directory for specific names, districts, and contact information.

To form an MDIO, contact the district Rotaract representatives of the districts involved. The district Rotaract representatives will need to secure approval from at least two-thirds of the clubs in their respective districts. Next, develop guidelines, such as a constitution and bylaws, to govern the functioning of the MDIO. Once the guidelines are finalized, district governors must give their formal approval. Send the MDIO guidelines and all documents approving the MDIO to RI World Headquarters. The RI Board will consider the proposal and notify the district Rotaract representatives and district governors when a decision has been made. Once approved, the MDIO will be listed in the Worldwide Rotaract Directory.
