You may be asking yourself – What is One Rotary Summit?
It is training, coordinated by our Rotary Zone 28-29 team, and facilitated by our own District 6270. It is focused on the relationships among Public Image, The Rotary Foundation / Humanitarian Service, and Membership. The objective is to solidify Rotary’s 2018-19 annual theme of Be the Inspiration and the new Rotary Public Image Campaign: People of Action. About ½ of the time will be devoted to idea sharing and action development in small groups. Our goal is that people get to know other Rotarians from our District and share ideas that they can take back to their clubs to do the work of Rotary in an even better way to implement the theme and campaign.
(Some of you who have been Rotarians for many years may remember the Rotary Fall Seminars. District 6270 has replaced Fall Seminar with One Rotary Summit.)
