Rotary club seeks area professionals for goodwill exchange to Australia
Rotary clubs of district 5060 are seeking four outstanding professionals to visit Australia in April, 2009 as part of the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. The area to be visited includes some of Australia's most interesting outback in Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Through the program, teams of young professionals from two different countries exchange visits. For four weeks, team members experience the way of life, customs, and vocational practices of another country, while sharing information about their homeland.
The purpose of the Group Study Exchange program is to promote international understand¬ing and goodwill through personal connection. While abroad, team members stay in Rotarians' homes and have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts. They also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country.
The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airfare, and Rotary club members in the host country provide meals, lodging, and group travel in their district. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses.
Young adults between the ages of 25 and 40 who are interested in applying should be em¬ployed full-time in a business or profession. Applicants must live or be employed in Rotary District 5060. For an application, please contact (local contact's name) at (preferred form of contact: address, business or home phone number, and/or e-mail address). Applications are due by Sept. 15, 2008.
