​The Rotary Foundation is a critical part in allowing Rotarians to initiate and sustain our passions to improve our world locally and globally. As President, you have a role in bringing the Foundation to life for your club. This is your opportunity to learn why The Rotary Foundation is important to all we do and what your role as Club President should be in order to engage your club members to increase their participation with the Foundation. This won't be an explanation of the inner workings of the Foundation...there are other sessions at other events for that. This session is meant to inspire you to help us do good in the world!
