The 2019-20 theme "Rotary Connects the World" leads to the 2020-21 theme  “Rotary Opens Opportunities,” and we are charged to GROW Rotary, remove barriers, and provide the world with endless Rotary opportunities. The best way to grow Rotary and provide opportunities is to inspire and motivate existing members, connect deeper with your communities, and look for potential members who are missing to join your club. Come ready to be inspired and learn how diversity and inclusion will help you during your Rotary year and beyond with Dr. “Bowtie” Todd - “Moving from Diversity to Inclusion: Be a Timon or Pumbaa”!

This presentation is not your ordinary diversity talk, so prepare to learn and have fun. Hint Hint: Hakuna Matata!
