Ade Onayemi District Governor Visit

Tuesday, November 8, 2022
Main article image for story titled 'Ade Onayemi District Governor Visit'Ade Onayemi, our District 6450 Governor, reminded us of the history women have played in Rotary, even though it took a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1987 that Rotary clubs may not exclude women from membership on the basis of gender.  Jennifer E. Jones, a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, is Rotary International’s president for 2022-23, the first woman to hold that office in the organization’s 117-year history. Our Rotary theme this year is Imagine Rotary.  The focus is on advancing commitment to DEI, creating a welcoming club experience, expanding service projects and empowering girls (60 million girls are still denied an education throughout the world),

Locally, District 6450 goals are retaining members, growing Rotaract clubs, reaching out to young people, supporting mental health initiatives, showcasing Rotary and supporting DEI initiatives.
