Is your club interested in becoming or being more involved in International Service?
My role as the District International Service Chair has four objectives:
- Motivating & mentoring clubs
- Strengthening collaboration between clubs and district leadership
- Assisting with connecting clubs with international partners
- Establishing & managing a District Resource Network (DRN)
There are club that what to be more involved in the International Service area and don’t know where to start. As the district chair part of my role is to motivate and mentor clubs and individuals bridging the gap between the clubs and district.
Strengthening collaboration between clubs and district leadership will also increase your confidence in International Service. Working with district leadership, your club will have more resources available and experience to tap into for your International Service commitment.
Clubs need International Partners for Global Grants; how do you find them? There are many resources available on this subject, and we can help you select the one that interests you and your club the most. The are International clubs looking for partners all the time.
Establishing the District Resource Network is a work in progress. So far, I can connect you with people and clubs that have worked in International Service and materials on the District and Rotary websites. More on this as the DNR evolves.
I am available for conversation and/or a presentation about International Service.
