International Assembly - 2024, Orlando, Florida
Theme for 2024-25 Announced
By: DGE Bob MacKensie, Kennebunk RC
I had to honor and privilege to attend the International Assembly in Orlando, Florida from January 7- 11, and it was simply magical! Those that had gone before told me it would be an experience I would not forget, and they were spot on! I learned so much from the sessions, met and became instant friends with so many people from around the globe! I could not be any more inspired and excited to work with you all in the coming Rotary year ahead!The International Assembly (IA) is Rotary International’s annual learning event for District-Governor-elects from around the world. IA is also the stage for Rotary International’s President-elect to announce their theme for the upcoming Rotary year. Rotary International President-elect Stephanie Urchick, a member of the Rotary Club of McMurray, Pennsylvania, USA, announced the 2024-25 theme, The Magic of Rotary. Urchick called on members to use the magic of Rotary to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives. She also called on us to make our Rotary clubs “simply irresistible.” Read more and see the theme speech at https://my.rotary.org/en/2024-international-assembly-videos
I truly look forward to working with all of you to continue to and create The Magic of Rotary, by not only saving lives, but in making our communities and world a better place than we found it.
