RI President Elect Barry Rassin from the Bahamas has announced the Rotary theme for the 2018-19 Rotary year. 

Rassin, a member of the Rotary Club of East Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas, unveiled the theme, Be the Inspiration, to incoming district governors at Rotary’s International Assembly in San Diego. “I want you to inspire in your clubs, your Rotarians, that desire for something greater. The drive to do more, to be more, to create something that will live beyond each of us.”

Rassin stressed the power of Rotary’s new vision statement, “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.” This describes the Rotary that leaders must help build, he said.
