Girl Teen Empowerment Summit
Posted by Cathie Straub
Girl Teen Empowerment Summit
Alaska Permanent Capital Management is excited to announce that Covid-19 will not stop the 4th Annual Teen Girl Empowerment Summit. This is a chance to interact with Senator Lisa Murkowski, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anne Zink, psychologists, career counselors and thought provoking women leaders from across the state.
 
Usually we distribute via posters in the school, but with virtual learning, we need help getting the word out to parents. Each principal has been sent a copy via Dr. Bishop but if you could forward to parents and organizations we can use our networks to help teens connect in this disconnected time. There is an RSVP date so we can give opportunities for teens to meet in small groups with the leaders.
 
Students have opportunities for prizes, can ask questions directly and will have lots of informative take-aways.
 
Thanks in advance for helping connect teens and leaders through our annual community service event. Register via Zoom.

First Female President of Rotary International
First Female President of Rotary International

By Rotary International website

 

Jennifer E. Jones, of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, is the selection of the Nominating Committee for President of Rotary International for 2022-23.

 

Jennifer E. Jones, a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, has been nominated to become Rotary International’s president for 2022-23, a groundbreaking selection that will make her the first woman to hold that office in the organization’s 115-year history.

Jones will officially become president-nominee on 1 October if no other candidates challenge her.  Jones says she sees Rotary’s Action Plan as a catalyst for increasing Rotary’s impact.

“As we reflect upon our new strategic priorities, we could have never envisioned that our ability to adapt would become our North Star during what is inarguably the most profound time in recent history,” Jones said in her vision statement. “Silver linings rise out of the most challenging circumstances. Using metric-driven goals, I will harness this historic landscape to innovate, educate, and communicate opportunities that reflect today’s reality.”

As the first woman to be nominated to be president, Jones understands how important it is to follow through on Rotary’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Statement. “I believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion … begins at the top and for us to realize growth in female membership and members under the age of forty — these demographics need to see their own reflection in leadership,” Jones said. “I will champion double-digit growth in both categories while never losing sight of our entire family.”

Jones is founder and president of Media Street Productions Inc., an award-winning media company in Windsor. She was chair of the board of governors of the University of Windsor and chair of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce. She has been recognized for her service with the YMCA Peace Medallion, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Wayne State University’s Peacemaker of the Year Award, a first for a Canadian. Jones holds a Doctor of Laws (LL.D.).

A current Rotary Foundation trustee, Jones has been a Rotary member since 1997 and has served Rotary as RI vice president, director, training leader, committee chair, moderator, and district governor. She played a lead role in Rotary’s rebranding effort by serving as chair of the Strengthening Rotary’s Advisory Group. She is the co-chair of the End Polio Now Countdown to History Campaign Committee, which aims to raise $150 million for polio eradication efforts.

Jones recently led the successful #RotaryResponds telethon, which raised critical funds for COVID-19 relief and was viewed by more than 65,000. Jones has also received Rotary International’s Service Above Self Award and The Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service. She and her husband, Nick Krayacich, are members of The Rotary Foundation’s Arch Klumph Society, Paul Harris Society, and the Bequest Society.

The members of the Nominating Committee for the 2022-23 President of Rotary International are: Robert L. Hall, Dunwoody, Metro Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Bradford R. Howard Oakland Uptown, California, USA; Per Høyen, Aarup, Gelsted, Denmark; Peter Iblher, Nürnberg-Reichswald, Zirndorf, Germany; Ashok Mahajan, Mulund, Mah., India; Sam Okudzeto, Accra, Accra, Ghana; Eduardo San Martín Carreño, Majadahonda, Madrid, Spain; Takeshi Matsumiya, Chigasaki-Shonan, Chigasaki Kanagawa, Japan; Michael K. McGovern (secretary), Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA; José Alfredo Pretoni, São Paulo-Sul, São Paulo, Brazil; Saowalak Rattanavich, Bang Rak, Bangkok, Thailand; Hendreen Dean Rohrs, Langley Central, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada; Kenneth M. Schuppert, Jr (chair)., Decatur, Alabama, USA; Ravindra P. Sehgal, Belur, West Bengal, India; Noel Trevaskis, Merimbula, Tura Beach, Australia; Giuseppe Viale, Genova, Genova, Italy; and Chang-Gon Yim, Daegu-West, Daegu, Korea.

What you missed at the August 28th meeting: Hospice of Anchorage
Hospice of Anchorage
 
 
 
Amy Tribbett was introduced by Karl Schroeder.
 
Ms. Tribbett, the executive director of Hospice of Anchorage, opened by reminding us that most people spend more time planning their next vacation than they do planning for their end of life.  Today 80% of Americans say they would prefer to die at home but only 25% do.  Planning can increase the odds that you will have the passing you want.  People do not contact hospice until very close to the end.   The average duration of hospice service is 3 days.  A longer involvement by hospice would be beneficial for most patients.
 
Hospice of Anchorage was formed in 1980 and is the only nonprofit of the four hospice service providers.  People often think of hospice as a facility but in Anchorage that is not the case.  All providers come to the patient wherever they are be it home, hospital or long-term care facility.  Some medical insurers have rules for hospice that complicate end-of-life care.  Some examples of this are Medicare requires that a person have a diagnosis that death will occur in 6 months or less and this is often not a realistic question for healthcare providers.  Another is once the patient is in a hospice program they cannot receive treatment for their underlying illness.  Many of these complications are avoided by using the nonprofit hospice provider.  These are also good examples as to why consulting with multiple hospice providers well in advance of the end of life will insure you have the best fit with your provider.  Tribbett recommends talking to all the local providers before making a selection.
 
Hospice of Anchorage maintains a supply of lendable or free books, medical equipment, incontinence supplies and dementia tool kits.  She shared an anecdote of a dementia client who had been unresponsive to caregivers until he was shown a simple pinwheel from the dementia care kit.  She recounted, “It was like a light went on,” and the patient showed interest for the first time in days.
 
Among the things Hospice of Anchorage offers are services, such as grief consoling, to the survivors for 12 months following the death of the client. (editors note:  Grief consoling is a service initially recognized, organized and moderated by AIR past president/funeral director Fred Kehl in the 1960’s)
September is Basic Education and Literacy Month

Basic education and literacy is one of The Rotary Foundation’s six areas of focus. We know that basic education and literacy are essential for reducing poverty, improving health, encouraging community and economic development, and promoting peace. 

Consider these facts:

  • If all women completed primary education, there would be 66% fewer maternal deaths.

  • A child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past the age of five.

  • If all students in low-income countries left school with basic reading skills, 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty, which would be equivalent to a 12% cut in world poverty.

The world is making good progress in this area. According to a 2014 United Nations Millennium Development Goals progress report, literacy rates among adults and youths are on the rise and the gender gap in literacy is narrowing. But pressing global needs remain:

  • 58 million children worldwide are out of school.

  • Even after four years of primary schooling, as many as 250 million children cannot read and write.

  • 781 million adults are illiterate.

Rotary supports activities and training to improve education for all children and literacy for children and adults.

Area of Focus Statement of Purpose and Goals:

The Rotary Foundation enables Rotarians to ensure that all people have sustainable access to basic education and literacy by:

  • Involving the community to support programs that strengthen the capacity of communities to provide basic education and literacy to all;

  • Increasing adult literacy in communities;

  • Working to reduce gender disparity in education;

  • Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to basic education and literacy.

Parameters for Eligibility:

The Rotary Foundation considers activities targeting the following to be within the scope of the basic education and literacy area of focus:

  • Access to quality basic primary and secondary education;

  • Educating adults in literacy;

  • Providing training in teaching literacy, curriculum development, and school administration;

  • Strengthening educational experience through improved materials and facilities;

  • Community management of education systems;

  • Vocational training teams supporting the above activities;

  • School desk purchases, when accompanied by a detailed and verifiable plan to improve basic education and literacy;

  • Scholarships for graduate-level study in programs related to basic education and literacy.

The Rotary Foundation considers activities targeting the following to be outside the scope of the basic education and literacy area of focus and as such are not eligible for global grant funding:
