Jessica's Vision for the Club
Rotary is a space of support and friendship. Our community has stood strong in the face of a tumultuous world and I am proud to be a member of a club active both locally and internationally. As the world has opened up and become more "normal" than it has in the past four years, it is of utmost importance we do not fall into "normal" routines. We must take the painful recent memories and use them to thrust us into a period of momentum and action. It is time to take our "what ifs" and turn them into realities. It is time we connect with each other more than ever before on a deeper level. It is time for us to explore and grow in new directions informed by our past.
I am blessed to be surrounded by a incredibly supportive membership. We will be facing a unique challenge with this being, to my knowledge, our first completely remote presidency. I view this is an exciting and unique opportunity for us; I truly believe it will see us utilize new tools and skill sets that we can then leverage in other avenues.
Jessica's Club Vision for 2023-2024
Provide a space for engaged service of the community by way of integration of established tools and techniques with novel ones.
Jessica's Goals for 2023-2024
-Identify and actualize alternative volunteer, fundraising, and social events
-Define structures that combine best historical club practices and engage new membership
-Capitalize on club resources and new district opportunities
-Increase online operations to enable remote or hybrid audiences and memberships
-Have fun!
