Vibrant Club Summit - September 26
Vibrant Club Summit: Unite, Inspire, Transform
A vibrant Rotary Club Summit brings members together to collaborate, learn proven strategies, and turn Rotary’s Action Plan into action at the club level. It creates an opportunity for Rotarians to step back from the day-to-day, share what is working, explore new ideas, and build a common vision for a stronger, more impactful club.
  • Put the Action Plan into Action
    Explore practical ways to increase Rotary’s impact, expand our reach, enhance member engagement, and adapt to the changing needs of our communities.
  • Bring Leadership Together
    Connect club leaders from membership, public image, The Rotary Foundation, service, youth programs, and other areas around one shared vision and set of priorities.
  • Share What Works
    Give clubs the opportunity to exchange successful ideas, proven strategies, tools, and experiences that can be adapted and put to work immediately.
  • Strengthen Community Impact
    Identify opportunities for meaningful, sustainable service projects that address real community needs and demonstrate the value of Rotary.
  • Build Friendships and Connections
    Rotary is about more than projects and meetings. A summit creates space for Rotarians to connect, build relationships, have fun, and strengthen the friendships that keep people engaged.
“What can we do differently—and better—to make our Rotary club stronger and our community better?” Come together. Share ideas. Build connections. Take action.

Navigating Toxic Leadership

Rachel Gabriel, M.D., will be presenting Navigating Toxic Leadership on September 22, a 60-minute evidence-based training designed to strengthen your organization's leadership culture from the inside out. Grounded in the Toxic Triangle model and destructive leadership theory, this session equips leaders, managers, and HR professionals with the frameworks to identify harmful leadership patterns, understand how organizational culture enables or prevents them, and build the skills to lead with greater awareness and integrity. This is leadership development that goes beyond competency models and addresses what actually derails teams and organizations.

Pre-registration is required! After you register, you will receive a zoom link to connect to the meeting.

Our guest speaker will be Rick White (President of the Atlantic League). Learn more about Rick!

Rick White is the President of the Atlantic League, where he supervises the activities of baseball’s leading MLB Partner League. During his time with the League, Mr. White overhauled league financial affairs and initiated Pace of Play initiatives, influencing Major League Baseball to take similar steps. He then led the pioneering ALPB-MLB Test Rules & Equipment Partnership, where the Atlantic League tested initiatives destined for adoption by Major League Baseball. The Agreement marked the first-ever public recognition of an independent professional baseball league by Major League Baseball. Mr. White’s efforts led to the Atlantic League being recognized as the first MLB Professional Partner League.
 
Mr. White has led public-private partnerships resulting in three new Atlantic League ballparks and growth from six to ten teams. He developed the ALPB’s proprietary Drake branded baseball, the first time in over one hundred years a league has created and produced its own official baseball. Most recently, he has developed Dugout TV, the league’s diamond sports channel.
 
Prior to joining the Atlantic League in 2014, Mr. White founded Strategic Marketing Affiliates, was the President and CEO of Imperial Headwear and spent a number of years at Major League Baseball where he founded MLB Properties, which oversaw trademark licensing, corporate marketing, publishing, sponsorship, international and special events. White created sports’ first authentic fan apparel (“Diamond Collection”), vintage products (“Cooperstown Collection”), sports fan festivals (“All-Star FanFest”) and launched MLB Clubhouse retail shops. He led licensed product sales from $200M to $2B and was the first non-Commissioner to be conferred the prestigious Baseball Alumni Team “Big Bat Award.”
 
A native of Los Angeles, Mr. White attended Chapman University where he was student body president and played on the school’s nationally ranked baseball team. Mr. White graduated Magna Cum Laude, with a B.S. in Psychology. He earned his MBA at Purdue University’s Krannert School of Business.
 
Mr. White has been named Boy Scout Man of the Year and has been awarded the Colorado PGA’s President’s Award.  He resides in New York City with his wife, Lynne Cribari. They are proud parents of daughter Madison, a film industry professional.
