R.R.P.P - Rotary Rising Post Pandemic
Jul. 01, 2021
What can we look like post pandemic? It’s a new Rotary year and certainly the dawn of a new era. How can Rotary rise and take advantage of this? What can we provide that the community may be looking for? July 1 is Canada Day for our neighbours to the north. Hear from a Canadian about (aboot?) where we are heading, and where we can rise to lead. Kevin Hilgers is a Past District Governor of a Rotary district in northern Alberta, Canada – also the first Rotary home of our 2021/22 President Kim Bedier! Kevin has a lot of Rotary experience he’s busting to share. His experiences include membership growth, youth exchange, marketing and selling Rotary and the branding of Rotary. He is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Victoria-Harbourside and is active within District 5020 with Rotary Friendship Exchange and membership growth. With a background in broadcasting Kevin enthusiastically helps Rotarians envision and act on their future. Join us Thursday, July 1, (Canada Day!) for R.R.P.P., Rotary Rising Post Pandemic.
