The DaCdb was developed to assist districts and clubs to meet their administrative reporting requirements to Rotary International, and to foster easier communications within the district for the district leadership, district committees, club leadership, and of course the members of Rotary Clubs. Thus, we have developed a system that easily addresses all of these functions, with a high level of security to assure privacy of all the data collected and maintained by the DaCdb. The DaCdb system is an on-line, web based system that provides access to the current information anywhere, and at anytime you can access the internet.

So, here are the functions, features, and benefits of the DaCdb system, arranged from the Rotarian member to club secretary and finally the district "views" of the DaCdb.

Each Rotarian/member may access their own data, and make any changes to the fields in their record, such as:

- Nickname/Badge Name
- Address changes
- Phone Number changes
- E-mail address changes
- submitting their Photo
- Classification
- Business position and other Business information
- Rotary recognitions: Paul Harris, Sustaining Member, Club Past President, Past District Governor, etc.
- General comments: College, family, hobbies, etc.

In addition, the Rotarian member may request and then view or print a Club Membership Directory, which lists all members in THEIR club, with Contact and E-mail data and a member's photo (if photo has been submitted). This feature is great for new members of a large club, since it gives them a club roster (with photos) in a couple of mouse clicks. And, the Rotarian member can also view the "Meeting Times and Locations" of other clubs for "make-ups", or just to attend an interesting program (via the club's calendar of Events and Programs). Also, the Rotarian member can view the district leadership and district committees (with their contact information). Although the system is "user-friendly, and somewhat intuitive", there is a comprehensive set of "Frequently Asked Questions and Answers" section, as well as a series of "how to" interactive training videos for all this functions to assist the user.

And, once a “member change” is submitted to the DaCdb, it is also automatically forwarded to the RI database (if it is a field that RI maintains in its database). We believe the Rotarian member "knows" their own data BEST, so please encourage them to update their own record.
