WHAT: The Rotary International 2023-24 theme is Create Hope in the World. District Governor Dave Long wants our District Conference to focus on our mental well-being, sharing hope and protecting the environment. So come and explore nature’s powerful benefits for our communities’ mental health and well-being and the ways Rotary can create hope for our planet and the people who live here through our international connections with the world around us.
WHY: Our goals are 1) to inspire Rotarians to connect with nature, noticing the impact that this connection can have for our mental health; 2) to convince decision-makers at all levels that access to, and quality of nature is a mental health and social justice issue as well as an environmental one that Rotarians are uniquely poised to influence; and 3) to give Rotarians from across our large District the opportunity to meet, share ideas, form collaborations & connections, which also is shown to improve mental health and increase longevity.
