On May 16th, a group of committed members convened at the Virtual District Learning Assembly to share ideas, collaborate, and plan for the upcoming year. The District Learning Assembly was designed for all Rotarians who wish to deepen their understanding of leadership roles within their Clubs and gain broader insight into Rotary Club operations. All participants, regardless of current leadership status, were provided with a valuable opportunity to learn about future leadership possibilities.
The District Governor-Elect Jeremiah Sensenig welcomed attendees, and the Public Image Chair Gail Landis provided information highlighting that the Rotary Brand encompasses more than just a logo. Resources from both the Brand Center and Learning Center were highlighted to assist Clubs in promoting Rotary (internally/externally) and sharing impactful Rotary stories. Click Here
