Our Rotary club looks for guest speakers whose programs clearly support Rotary’s 7 Areas of Focus, such as peacebuilding, disease prevention, education, economic development, and environmental stewardship. We value speakers who can demonstrate real‑world impact, share meaningful stories, and help our members better understand the challenges and opportunities within these focus areas. Above all, we look for presenters who embody Rotary values—integrity, service, and a commitment to improving lives locally and globally.
We also appreciate speakers who can offer practical ways for our club to engage, whether through volunteer opportunities, partnerships, or new project ideas. An engaging presentation style, a service‑centered perspective, and the ability to connect their work to Rotary’s mission all help ensure that their program is both inspiring and relevant to our members.
