Council of Governors’ Meeting

Every year past Governors are invited to a meeting to hear the half year progress report from the
Governor and the priorities for the following year from the Governor-Elect.

This year the Past Governors met on the 19th February to hear DG David’s report as well as DGN Jeff’s
and Jenny’s introduction of RI President Elect Shekhar Mehta and his theme and priorities for 2021/22.

This was the first time the DGsE were unable to meet in person for their training and Jeff and Jenny had
to endure Zoom presentations each morning for more than a week from 12.30 am—2.00 am as well as
small group breakouts each afternoon.

DGN Paul Thomas also presented a short report.

PDG Bob Cooper was also invited to give an overview of the Drought relief program which has been
extended into a new area with further funds allocated to the District by the Federal Government.
This extension is testament to way the relief program has been so well administered by Bob and
many 9510 clubs.

A full report will appear in the April issue of Rotary Matters.
