MESSAGE FROM ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT

Jennifer E. Jones

Dear fellow Rotary leaders:

I am so pleased that you are attending your Rotary District Conference. As you meet in the days ahead,
you will have the opportunity to celebrate your successes, expand your network across borders and
cultures, and share your ideas for the years ahead.

As Rotarians, our commitment to service is what drives us, and we want to be a part of something larger
than ourselves. This special event is where we take our passion for community service to the next level,
finding inspiration in each other’s accomplishments to bring our service to even greater heights.

We all feel the impact that Rotary service and Rotary values have on us … now it’s our opportunity to share
that feeling with others. This is a year to Imagine Rotary by envisioning a world that deserves our best,
where we get up each day knowing we can make a difference. We don’t imagine yesterday, we imagine
tomorrow.

We imagine a world without polio, with clean water for everyone. We imagine a world free of disease and
where every child learns to read. We imagine kindness, hope, love, and peace.

If we serve our members, we serve our communities. And if we provide comfort and care for our members,
they will truly come to understand the power of Rotary.
I hope you take the knowledge gained at this District Conference back to your clubs to help them succeed
throughout the coming year. Together, we will achieve great things as we Imagine Rotary.

Warmest regards,

Jennifer E. Jones
President, Rotary International 2022-23
