 Welcome From District Governor Rachele Bouchand
Happy New Year, Rotary Family! As we continue the District’s work in supporting clubs this year, a large focus will be on training, expanding leadership opportunities and communicating these strengths to attract and engage members. We are continuing our RISE (Rotarians Inspired to Succeed and Engage) leadership program. Applications and more details are found at https://district5030.org/rise/ . You will also see in-person and virtual training opportunities this year. Personally, I have benefited from expanding my global perspective through community service and growing my leadership skills through opportunities created by my numerous mentors in Rotary. | ||

 The Vital Role of Rotary Action Groups
Dear Rotarians, As we navigate the journey of service and community building within Rotary, it’s essential to recognize the significant contributions of Rotary Action Groups (RAGs). These groups exemplify our commitment to addressing critical global challenges through specialized expertise, passion, and dedication. Rotary Action Groups are global, grassroots networks of Rotary members, family members, and Rotaractors who are experts in a particular field. They collaborate with clubs and districts to enhance service projects, offering guidance, support, and valuable resources. | ||
