The 2018 Montreal Zone Conference will address our goals as Rotarians and the ways to make Rotary an integral part of our thinking, doing, and actions – with a goal of inspiring leadership for change and innovative solutions among all Rotarians in addressing the future of Rotary both locally and globally.
We believe in the importance of connecting the global goals and local actions by bringing together youth and senior leaders, subject matter experts, people of action, and Governors to exchange views and share knowledge and practices about transforming Rotary’s goals into concrete actions that can help in shaping and moving our clubs and communities forward in growing Rotary.
This conference is open to ALL Rotarians.
