Dr. Jesse Harman - May Membership Seminar Speaker

Our May 11th - at 6pm - Membership Forum speaker will be Incoming Zone 8 Director Dr. Jesse Harman.

Rotary International Director 2021-23 Dr Jessie Harman is definitely a glass half full kinda gal. As the first female from Zone 8 to be elected to the RI Board, she is a trailblazer for Rotary in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Her passion for our organisation is irrepressible, her voice bubbling over with enthusiasm as she speaks of her journey and her hopes for the future.

As chair of Rl's membership committee, she says it has provided a wonderful opportunity to think strategically about Rotary right around the world. This is a membership forum talk not to be missed.

Club Development Seminar

Incoming board members and new members are invited to the 2021 Club Development Seminar training day. This seminar was previously known as the District Assembly and has been the annually scheduled training of incoming club board members in preparation for their year.
