The new Rotary International President, Kalyan Banerjee wants to stress the importance of both membership and continued support of the The Rotary Foundation. He has established the following criteria for recognition during 2011-12. The actions and criteria support the priorities and goals identified within the RI Strategic Plan: strengthen clubs, increase humanitarian service, and enhance public image.
Rotary Foundation requirements and membership requirements must both be attained for recognition. All clubs and districts that have been certified as reaching these goals will receive a certificate singed by Kalyan Banerjee. In addition, the top 15 certified clubs and districts will be eligible for onstage recognition at the 2010 RI Convention in Bangkok. To read the full citation click on this link.
