Join the People of Action Summits™
People of Action Summits™ are powered by Rotary Zones 26 and 27. This region is made up of thousands of Rotary members across the Western US, as well as part of British Columbia, Canada. The People of Action Summits will provide an in-person and virtual opportunity for Rotary members to join forces with communities and industry experts to tackle some of the biggest challenges we face.
It’s all about individuals identifying issues, solving problems, and making a difference. Video: People of Action Summits
