Speaker - John Hewko - Rotary International General Secretary

There are five calls to action:

1) Polio eradication. The three main parts of that are fundraising, advocacy and boots on the ground. Have to work harder than ever now.

2)  Membership; need to grow membership in North America

3) Grant Model; looking to encourage larger projects

4) Brand Strengthening Initiative; Messaging and adoption of visual brand identification

5)  Power of partnership; partnering with other organizations, not just Rotary
