Shekhar MehtaShekhar MehtaShekhar Mehta

President, Rotary International

2021-22

Shekhar Mehta urges membership

development to be Rotary’s high-

est priority. He believes that

focusing on regional plans, suc-

cessfully transitioning Rotaractors

into Rotary clubs, and increasing

diversity and female members

could yield a five percent (5%)

net growth in membership each

year. “Major brainstorming is

needed to find effective solutions

suited to different areas of the

world,” says Mehta.

LaShonda has traveled extensively

Membership. Within the Rotary

world, her passion is using Public

Image to increase giving and

engage members.

ROTARACTOR ENGAGEMENT

Holger Knaack, RI President 2020-21, stresses the

importance of involving Rotaractors in our Zone

events.

Director Howe is taking this one step further by

including Rotaractors in the education curriculum

— not in a separate track, but side-by-side with

our Rotarians. In fact, Rotaractors will lead an

education session on Saturday morning.

ROTARY’S ON FIRE!

I am Suzi Howe, Convener

of the 2020 Zones 25B and 29

Institute, in Houston, TX. It is

my and Bill’s pleasure to invite

you – our past, current and

future leaders of Rotary Interna-

tional, The Rotary Foundation

and Rotaract – to this event. It

will be held at the Royal Sonesta

Hotel from September 8-13, 2020.

At Zone Institute, you will find fellowship, inspirational

speakers, invaluable educational opportunities, and fun!

Fellowship – Four hundred Rotarians from 23 districts, and

an additional 500 local Houstonian Rotarians will join us at

the all-club luncheon. Be there! It’s your opportunity to net-

work, find project partners and make friends.

Inspirational Speakers – Hear what’s new in RI from Shekhar

Mehta, RI President 2021-22. Experience LaShonda Delivuk’s

passion and learn how to use Public Image to engage members

and increase giving. Todd Jenkins will inspire us to bring

together diverse people and increase Rotary’s productivity.

Education – Separate educational tracks for your District-

Governor-Line, Leadership Development, District Chairs

and District Trainers will highlight RI’s Strategic Plan.

Rotaractors, we heard you! You will be educated alongside

other Rotarians, not in your own siloed education track.

Fun – Folklorico dancers, a mariachi band, a Western-themed

party with ropers included, and trips to the Space Center, Car

Museum and the Galleria all await you!

Experience Southern Hospitality at its best.

Join Bill and me for a blazing Rotary Zone Institute!

Yours in Rotary,

Suzi and Bill Howe
