July 2018

Engaging the next generation of Rotary leaders

Rotary's biggest event of the year

Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors, alumni, and leaders from around the world connected in Toronto during the Rotary International Convention. At the general sessions and workshops, on social media, and in the House of Friendship, they shared ideas, learned from world class leaders, and made new friends. Check out the highlights and get inspired for another amazing Rotary year:

During the Rotaract Preconvention, Rotaract’s 50^th anniversary was celebrated by exchanging ideas, learning from engaging speakers, connecting with Rotaractors and Rotarians from around the world. Download workshop presentations.
The audience was inspired by former Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark, learned about Canada’s commitment to end polio from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, heard from Rotary President Ian Riseley on how we can make a difference in our communities, and asked to be the inspiration by Rotary President-elect Barry Rassin.
The Rotaract panel shared their experience in Rotary’s six areas of focus, and how Rotaractors and Rotarians can work together to create positive change in local communities and around the world.

Rotaractors: Find your road to Rotary

“In 2005, I made a seemingly small decision to apply for “science camp.” It happened to be the Rotary-sponsored, National Youth Science Forum. Fast forward 13 years and I’ve been heavily involved in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), Rotaract, and most recently I took the next exciting leap and joined the Rotary E-Club of Silicon Valley. Selecting the best Rotary club to join was an 18-month journey.”
