DEI Committee – This new Diversity-Equity-Inclusion committee is being launched to support Rotary International’s commitment to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment in our Rotary Clubs. PDG Hector Ortiz will be the Committee Chair. To read more about RI’s commitment to DEI go to: https://www.rotary.org/en/about-rotary/diversity-equity-and-inclusion
Women in Rotary Committee –
A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the communities we serve. Currently just 28% of Rotary Members in District 7390 are women and even fewer are in leadership positions. As we welcome Rotary International’s first woman president Jennifer Jones, lets plan activities to not only attract more women into Rotary but celebrate women Rotarians throughout our District and beyond. Those activities can include business networking, service, leadership development and FUN! Anyone is welcome to join regardless of gender orientation.
2022-2023 RI President Jennifer Jones
