My Fellow Rotarians,
District 7070 has created a Peace-building Committee to help share Rotary’s ongoing vision to raise the profile of peace and to create an environment to learn more about the ‘building blocks’ of Peace-building through mediation, dispute resolution, and negotiation. Here are the locations of the upcoming presidential Peacebuilding Conferences but to hear President Ian Riseley’s invitation to join him at any of the six conferences in 2018, follow this link: https://my.rotary.org/en/news-media/office-president/presidential-conferences .........
These conferences highlight the areas in which Rotary does its most significant work. They will focus on how peace relates to each of Rotary’s five other areas of focus as well as environmental sustainability. The first Environmental Sustainability and Peace conference is in our own backyard, Vancouver, BC on February 10, 2018. Come join DG Neil and me as we learn more about Rotary’s focus on environmental sustainability.
The series will elevate Rotary’s status as a global leader in each area of focus; demonstrate The Rotary Foundation’s impact in each area of focus; build knowledge to inspire participants and increase their service engagement; and provide a platform for members and non-members to network, make connections and explore partnerships for projects as Rotary: Making a Difference.
Peace Through Service,
Ian E. Lancaster,
Chair, District 7070 Peace Building Committee
