Speaker
Anderson Silveira, Kim Corbett, and Jirayr Kembikian made up the panel of speakers today. They discussed what young, busy professionals want to get out of a Rotary club. The focus was on what types of events will drive membership and interest to our club and Rotary in general. Social and community service events were agreed upon to be the new center of younger individuals. Having and maintaining a social media aspect to the club was also agreed would help attract new members.
