Register for PETS and Learning & Development

This year we are combining both PETS (President Elect Training) and Learning & Development (previously known as Club Assembly). This will ensure more time for Club members to learn their individual roles within their Club, and provide an opportunity to build a strong team, within your Club members and with other Clubs. There is strength in unity. We are providing two opportunities to attend - one in Merimbula and one in Orange. We encourage as many members of your Club as possible to come along.

MERIMBULA

Date: 17th to 19th March 2023
Venue: Merimbula Services Club.
REGISTER FOR MERIMBULA HERE

ORANGE

Date: 31st March-2nd April, 2023
Venue: Orange Services Club

D9705 promotes DEI
Rotary - Respect in relation to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Rotary International has committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion and has stated that:

As a global network that strives to build a world where people unite and take action and has to create lasting change, Rotary values diversity and celebrates the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, colour, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

District D9705 strongly endorses this statement and notes that the respectful treatment of all members – as well as of all others with whom Rotarians connect - is essential to furthering goodwill and cooperation. Whatever our condition, we cannot expect respect ourselves if we fail to give it to others.

Uluru Statement from the Heart

During the recent Annual Conference, Reconciliation, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion were the themes around much of the conversations, talks, projects and entertainment. One key element of the Reconciliation journey is the 2017 Uluru Statement from the Heart.

This short 4 minute video expresses the Statement by Mr Thomas Mayor at a recent Rotary dinner in Melbourne. It is worth the 4 minutes!
