Incoming president Idris Fashan kicked off our classification talk month with a striking presentation on his vocation in Communications.

He outlined how communications ethics line up with Rotary values and why as soon as he was introduced to Rotary in 2013, he became a natural.
Idris' explorer spirit may have to do with being UK-born from a sea-faring family. Cameleon-Idris went from being a biologist in Nova Scotia to touring North America as a drum musician.
