Sponsors

Seattle Rotary Online

Seattle Rotary Online is a significant marketing opportunity that is available to organizations that wish to help co-sponsor it. Many of Seattle Rotary’s most prominent speakers are available on our website to anyone with a computer and broadband access. Intended as a library where you can just pull a speaker’s presentation off the shelf, Seattle Rotary Online has been sponsored by First Choice Health CEO, Ken Hamm, and Gary Gannaway before him. Ken is willing to share the financial load (and public awareness!) with companies or other organizations that wish broader awareness within the club or community.
 
Sponsorships are available for as little as $500. 
 
Please Contact Seattle Rotarian, David Endicott  by email or at (206) 409-3275.

THE CHANGING FACE OF FINANCIAL ADVICE

Wednesday, September 7th at Noon
The Westin 

 
The business of financial advice is going through its most profound transformation in decades.  The implication for consumers is greater choice, more transparency and ultimately lower cost to access financial solutions.  Join former Seattle #4 Rotarian Mark Tibergien, CEO of Pershing Advisor Solutions, for context and insight as to what these changes mean for both the marketplace and the consumer.
 
Special Short Program on Sept 7th by 2016 International Youth Ambassadors from Taiwan!

Making Change: The Revolution in Math Education

Totem Report 
by Jeanne McKnight
 
There’s a revolution going on today in math education—taking kids from despising math to loving it and being empowered by it. What’s the deal? Dan Finkel shares all, even the secret mathematician handshake, with Seattle #4.
 
Meet Ross Stewart
Today I have the honor and privilege of introducing our new member Ross Stewart.  When you meet him you will be struck with his bright, articulate and ebullient charm. Born in New Zealand, Ross’s life and work eventually took him to Seattle where he has been a professor of accounting at Seattle Pacific University for 30 years.

Travel to Southern India May 2017 

Prosperity Rings' micro credit staff, led by Rotarians Nancy and Derick Pasternak, invite District 5030 Rotarians to travel to Southern India in early May of 2017. The timing will revolve around the exotic event of a lifetime, the annual Trissur Elephant Festival May 5.
 
You will participate in a work project with the micro credit borrowers funded by your grant. The tour will also include the bizarre and colorful Kathakali dances, the Madurai Hindu Temple, a stay on a houseboat, idyllic spice, tea and rubber plantations in the lush mountains of Munnar, and other activities that draw you into the charms of Southern India. The Prosperity Rings project received SRSF funding in 2014 as part of a District Grant, as well as a Global Grant several years earlier. 
 
Please contact Derick Pasternak if you are interested at dppaster@gmail.com.
