Our District Conference is just a month away. The first weekend in October will be here before you know it, so why not register now at http://www.rotary6440.org/ (follow calendar link to District Conference, then use link at bottom of page)?
This year's conference is offering exciting speakers. We have experts, including Dean Dipak Jain of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management talking about values-based leadership, Tom and Susan Kuczmarski giving us different ways to think of leadership, Cameron Davis of the Alliance for the Great Lakes addressing ways to preserve these natural resources with which we are blessed, and Steve Dudenhofer of Guatemala Tomorrow and former Guatemalan First Lady Wendy Widmann de Berger updating us on Guatemala.
Rotary information and training will be outstanding, with Rotary International General Secretary Ed Futa, former Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar from our district and current Rotary Foundation employee Jamie Revord, local Rotarian and manager of Rotary's PolioPlus division Carol Pandak, and PDG and President's Representative Ron Axel of Minneapolis all lending their expertise and experience. You'll have a chance to hear more about Rotary's strategic plans and growth initiatives and to learn about the lasting impact of participation in Rotary-sponsored programs. We'll also have local Rotarians describing some of their international projects and offering tips on executing them successfully.
All of this learning and sharing will take place in a fun, convenient atmosphere. We'll be at Marriott's Lincolnshire Resort right here in our district. You'll want to attend everything, but if that's not possible, be sure to register for at least part of the conference. There's no registration fee for attending plenary sessions or workshops, so don't miss out on this chance to combine Rotary information with inspiration and guidance.
Please note the blog posting about our district's contributions to the Shelter Box program ( http://rotary6440.blogspot.com/2008/08/district-6440-shelter-box-leader.html). My thanks to the local leaders who have worked so hard to build support. With your help, they're doing wonderful work.
