NEW! Nurturing a club course in the Learning Centre
Starting new clubs is a way to grow Rotary but it’s equally important to ensure these new
clubs have the support and tools to thrive and become sustainable. Nurturing new clubs

course in the Learning Centre is the second in Rotary International’s new club development
series. New club supporters can learn their roles for helping new clubs achieve success and hear best
practices for guiding new clubs during their formative years.

Zone 8 Rotary Coordinator Adrian Roach and the Assistant Rotary Coordinator (ARC) team, recently

Exploring the Black Experience in Rotary webinar – 8 am, 26 February
By considering each other’s experiences and perspectives, we allow our community to be not only about
what we have in common but what makes us different. During Exploring the Black Experience in Rotary
attendees will hear from Black Rotarians from around the world as they discuss race and identity, raising
awareness and acknowledging our social identities, and how we can allow space for all members and
participants to bring their authentic selves to Rotary. If you are interested in getting a copy of the recording,
