DISTRICT NEWS

Celebrate Community & Economic Development Month!

Rotary and Rotaract members are passionate about finding sustainable solutions to the problem of poverty. By supporting projects that focus on creating employment opportunities and generating income, we can reduce poverty. During Community Economic Development Month, consider how you can address community needs and challenges.

Increasing Inclusivity in your Rotary Club

At Rotary, we're committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect, allowing everyone's voice to be heard, and providing equitable opportunities for fellowship, service, and leadership.

Our members want and expect Rotary to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization. Although the Rotary experience may differ from country to country, issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion are globally relevant.
