DG Emma recently announced District 7780 Leadership Updates. Please congratulate your fellow Rotarians for stepping up to District Roles or, at least in some cases, taking on additional District leadership functions. At the same time, she encouraged others to consider ways to participate beyond our clubs—on committees, project teams, or special initiatives.
You can share your interests through the form on our district website: BEYOND YOUR CLUB. Your involvement strengthens our district and amplifies our collective impact.
