Dear Friends,
I am back after conducting RC Institute at Chicago. It was a wonderful experience of training 41 leaders from the world and on the last day 41 more leaders (RRFCs joined). Also 8 Rotary Public Image Coordinators joined in the last two days. Rotary is changing very fast. Now for 3 priorities of Strategic Planning there are 3 Coordinators namely:
1. Rotary Coordinators
2. Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinators
3. Rotary Public Image Coordinators
I could attend the Board meeting at Vrajesh's home, though I returned on the same day. I await Board decisions for conveying to you or probably Premal has already conveyed the same.
I have a very good news to share. I am invited by RI President Ray Klinginsmit (who was present in many sessions of RC Institute alongwith President Nominee Sakuji Tanaka) to act as Moderator for a workship ofRC, RRFC and RPIC at the New Orleans Convention on 24th May. Indeed this a rare honour and I have accepted the same.
