"People think they have to be good at everything to be club president. But you’re building a team around you. You learn what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, and you can rely on others to fill the gaps."
Conor Gee
president of the Rotary Club of Chicago in 2017-18
Ready to take on a leadership role beyond your club – but not ready to be a district governor? There are other options.
District committees often need volunteers. Most districts have committees that focus on the following areas: finance; international service; public image; training and leadership development; and youth programs and scholarships. Ask your district governor about opportunities in your area.
