Our very own city of HOUSTON, specifically our District 5890, will be the 2022 Rotary International Convention host city! This was a lengthy process that involved many people throughout our District, particularly PDG Rhonda Kennedy, and her committee. Rotary International is investing almost $1 MILLION dollars to promote Rotary in District 5890. This promo will result in more visits to our club’s website, Facebook, and social media. Ads will display on social media, Houston Public Media News 88.7, plus with the Houston Chronicle and Chron.com, and there is more to come! Research has shown that brand awareness of Rotary increased by 40% in a particular city after being host of the Rotary International Convention. Every member is a "Rotary Brand Ambassador" - now let's show the world who District 5890 is!
"I would like to thank PDG Rhonda Kennedy for her leadership as the Bid Committee Chair and all of the members of the committee who worked tirelessly to make this selection possible. Rotarians, this is just the beginning of our road to 2022. Over the next six years we will be planning a convention that shows Rotarians from around the world exactly why Houston was not only the right choice, but the only choice for the best International Convention possible. District 5890, you are the best and we are going to be depending on you to help make this happen so when the time comes please volunteer your time and expertise by serving on one of the many committees that will be available. Again, congratulations District 5890 on being selected as the 2022 Rotary International Convention site!"
