Past District Governor Po-Jung Lin

 

Dear Po-Jung,

 

Juliet and I think the role of the President’s Representative at a district conference is an extremely important one. It is my favourite job in all of Rotary.

 

In many cases, a district conference is the only opportunity for members to meet a knowledgeable, dedicated Rotarian from a different part of the world, and I take this role very seriously indeed.  Much as Juliet and I would like to attend every district conference, it is clearly impossible for us to do so. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we invite you and Po-Ching to represent us at the conference for District 3181. The conference will be held at the following location and dates:

 

Madikeri, Karnataka, India

26-Jan-2018 through 28-Jan-2018

 

We ask that you meet as many Rotarians and spouses as possible, inspire and motivate the participants, provide information about me, my theme, and special Rotary programs and emphases during the year, as well as share a wide range of information about Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.

 

In particular, I would like you to mention the following innovations and emphases for the 2017/18 year:

 

• My wish for clubs to have at least one tree planted for every member, to demonstrate that Rotarians care for the environment.
• My request that all Rotary clubs provide Rotary International with information on the money and hours contributed by the club in charitable activities for the full 2017/18 year.
• The need for us to lower the average age of Rotarians and improve the diversity of our club membership.
• How important it is that we maintain an ethical approach to all matters, because that is what differentiates Rotarians from other groups.
• The revamped Presidential citation, which should enable effective clubs to qualify.
• That the Rotary International convention in Toronto in June 2018 will be a great event.

 

Rotary International Travel Service (RITS) will book your transportation to the conference.  To utilize Rotary’s funds most effectively, please note that I expect my representatives to be very prudent with any other costs they incur, in accordance with our Code of Policies.   Please keep this in mind when considering your acceptance of this assignment.

 

Please also be advised that your contribution at the conference will be evaluated not just by the District Governor, but also by members of the Clubs in the District, by virtue of a new online tool developed by us.

 

I anticipate hearing only good reviews since we selected you because you have the ability to inspire, lead by example, and deliver a fantastic Rotary message. We think you can demonstrate Rotary: Making A Difference in a very meaningful way.

 

Please respond using My Rotary. Step-by-step instructions are attached for your easy reference. You will also be able to access background information to help you prepare for this assignment immediately upon acceptance in My Rotary. If you are unable to respond in this manner, please contact Senior Leader Support staff at presidential.services@rotary.org. Thank you for your ongoing efforts in the name of Rotary.  It shows that we do Make a Difference.

 

Sincerely,

 

Ian H.S. Riseley

President, Rotary International 2017-18
