District Governor Wayne and Suzanne DG Wayne told us that RI President Mark Daniel Maloney has chosen the Theme Rotary Connects the World as he believes Members of Rotary connect with their families, their communities and via projects around the world. Mark Maloney has four (4)Priorities for 2019-20 1. Increase our Impact - 9 November 2019 – Rotary Day at the United Nations, New York,
- 4 Presidential Conferences
1.28 February 2020 – Santiago, Chile 2.28 March 2020 – Paris, France 3. 7-8 May 2020 – Rome, Italy 4.5 June 2020 – Honolulu, Hawaii, USA 2. Expand our Reach by growing Rotary - Retain / Engage Members
- New Members
- New Clubs
- Look at all alternatives
3. Enhance Participant Engagement - Be more family freindly
- Welcome children to our activities
4. Increase our ability to adapt - New approaches to our Organising principles do not threaten our sense of who we are, but can enhance who we are.
- Rotary Leadership should not be a Full Time Job and was never intended to be this way.
And Then There Was DG Wayne's "Take" On Things - We are one of the largest services organisations in the world with over 1.2 m members and yet unless you have been involved with Rotary at some point in your life, Rotary is virtually unknown to the general population.
- We have over 1.2 million members with over 33,000 clubs worldwide.
- A conservative estimate say each club contributes $30,000 per year into their local and international communities. This would mean that Rotary directly inputs in excess of $1.0 billion dollars per year into the world economy.
