2012 Rotary International Convention in Bangkok - A ClubRunner Overview!

A fascinating event with a mix of both the Eastern and Western culture, the 2012 Rotary International convention was an exciting and fun-filled event for the more than 35,000 Rotarians in attendance.

During this action packed event, the ClubRunner booth was bustling with activity! From an overview of the latest ClubRunner features and enhancements to the highly anticipated sneak peak of ClubRunner Version 3.0, we had a variety of events taking place at the booth every day!

Halle, Sarah & Jeff from the ClubRunner team had an amazing time meeting all of our wonderful customers and listening to all of their great suggestions. In fact, we received some excellent feedback and will work on implementing those suggestions to the ClubRunner service in the near future.
On May 8th, as we began the sneak peak demo of the forthcoming ClubRunner Version 3.0 platform, we had an overwhelming response from both our current and prospective customers. As our unveiling party continued, the crowd at our booth continued to grow and we were ecstatic to see the interest levels of fellow Rotarians peak as they excitedly signed up to become beta testers. We also held demonstrations to highlight the ClubRunner Mobile App and were delighted to see the download statistics double during the convention.

During the five days, we had many people enter to win our mystery prize and it was awarded to Whay Yih from the Rotary Club of Bugis Junction. We also held a raffle to give away 10 free year's subscriptions to ClubRunner and the lucky winners will be announced within the coming weeks.

Thank you to everyone who visited the ClubRunner booth and made this event memorable! We'll be uploading photos and videos from the convention soon. In the meantime, if you have any pictures you want to share with us, join the conversation and get connected with us on our Facebook Fan Page!

Download Executives Data from District Site

Did you know you can now download a list of all club executives within the District?


District executives can now download a listing of all club executives and officers within the District, by year. 


To do so, simply navigate to the Organization tab from the top menu bar and click on 'Define Club Position Types'. Click on the member count for the listing you want to download and then click on the 'Export to CSV' button on the top right.Upon doing so, the data will be available to you in excel format.  Thus if you were looking to download a list of all the Club Presidents, you would click on the member count next to the Presidents column, which would take you to the next screen where a download option would be available. This feature is only available on the District sites. Clubs are still free to create their own positions and can still map those positions to the club positions listing on the District site.

New Scheduler in the Email Message Center!

Did you know you can now schedule your e-mails to be sent at a future date?

We've now added a scheduler in the e-mail message center which will let you schedule when you want to send your e-mails. Although, currently in beta version, once you've composed your message, simply select the date you want the system to send your e-mail on by clicking on the calendar icon and then type in the time (in Eastern time).

If you leave the scheduler option blank, your e-mail will be sent right away, as they always have! This new option works for sending only and will not take effect if you save your e-mail as a draft or for test e-mails.

More information, please do not hesitate to contact our support team!

Feature Update - Club Documents

As part of our latest release, you now have the ability to collapse your subfolders. To do so, simply click on the folder icon next to the sub folder name. Clicking on it again, will expand the folder and display the list of all documents stored within that folder.

Another exciting update to the club documents feature is the ability to transfer your documents between folders. To do so, simply click on the edit icon in the actions menu. Upon doing so, a pop up screen will appear on your screen allowing you to transfer the document to another folder as well as edit the name and description.

New Copy Event Feature - MyEventRunner

A popular request for MyEventRunner, a new option now allows event chairs to duplicate an event rather than designing the event registration from scratch again.

All the information regarding the event is copied except the event date and registrants. You then have the ability to edit the event details from the edit screen and make the changes as you see fit. To duplicate the event, simply click on 'duplicate' in the Event List page. You will then be prompted to title your event. Upon copying your existing event, you will see your new event listed in the Event list, from where you can continue to build your new event registration form.

Our mission is to simplify your club and district administration tasks and we thank you for all the feedback that you send to us to help us improve the ClubRunner platform. Please continue sending in your suggestions and feedback to feedback@clubrunner.ca.

ClubRunner Becomes Official Rotary International Licensee!

ClubRunner, the leading provider of online Rotary club administration and communications software, is pleased to announce that it is now an Official Rotary International Licensee.

Better Rotary Branding

ClubRunner and Rotary International have been working closely to improve productivity and communications for Rotary clubs and Districts globally over the past 2 years and this association further cements the partnership between the two entities. Benefits of being an official licensee include more flexibility in incorporating Rotary branding into the software, to further promote the organization and its clubs' public relations.

Better Collaboration

Moreover, this relationship also means that Rotary International and ClubRunner will work closer together on projects to not only improve the quality of service provided but to enhance the sharing of information between clubs. We're excited to announce that ClubRunner is one of the first Rotary based software providers in the world to have been classified as a licensed vendor of Rotary International.

Better Exposure

Becoming an official licensee also entitles ClubRunner to attend more Rotary based events such as the International District Assembly, resulting in more opportunities for us to meet our customers and provide direct support, customer service and training. ClubRunner currently attends 20 regional training seminars across North America as well as the annual Rotary International Convention.

Feature Updates - Nicknames and MyEventRunner!

Nicknames as the preferred field!

Earlier this month, we announced how the popular request to have nicknames populate as the preferred field throughout the system had been released. We're happy to announce that now, nicknames can also be used as the preferred field in the e-mail message center as well as in the events module! If within your ClubRunner profile, the nickname field is populated, the entire system will refer to you by your nickname.

Did you know that your event registration can display how many packages are still available for purchase and whether the event is sold out?

Now, if for your event, you are selling a limited amount of packages/add-ons, your registrants will be able to see the number of packages left to be purchased as well as if the event is sold out.
