 Rotary International President Elect Ian Riseley will address the World Affairs Seminar (WAS) Monday, June 26, 2017 at Carroll University. Rotarians are invited to attend at no cost, but need to let the WAS Staff know their intentions.
This year's theme "Education and Social Justice" reflects two of Rotary International's six key priorities:
Supporting Education
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
Promoting Peace
Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
WAS is a Rotary Youth Program of District 6270 that has touched the lives of over 27,000 students since its inception in 1977. This is the second year in a row that the Rotary International President Elect has opened the WAS Seminar.
The theme of Riseley's year in office is "Making a Difference." His term will focus on building a diverse, equitable membership committed to making the world better. We are excited to have Mr. Riseley share his inspirational message with the delegates to the 2017 World Affairs Seminar.
