One Rotary Summits - 2020-21

 
Special note: Newly added to this year’s materials as of 28 October 2020 is an 8-minute video interview with Rotary President Holger Knaack and as of 9 December 2020 is a shortened 2-minute version of the interview of RI President Holger Knaack.  Using one of the videos is recommended for use in the Setting the Stage segment of a One Rotary Summit with the time for that segment extended appropriately.  It is also recommended that it be downloaded to a computer and to a flash drive (as a backup) for use at the Summit, thereby not having to rely on an internet connection to show the video.
 
A One Rotary Summit (ORS) is all about how Membership, Public Image, and Humanitarian through The Rotary Foundation are connected and work together in Rotary. There is a slide in the ORS slide set (Document 11) that illustrates these relationships.
 
This year’s ORS materials are based on Rotary’s theme for this year: Rotary Opens Opportunities.  As this year’s Rotary President Holger Knaack has stated, “We believe that our acts of service, big and small, create opportunities for people who need our help. We also know that every act of service will inspire and change us… Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere.”  
 
Those attending the ORS will jointly discover and develop creative ways to achieve and sustain membership growth and retention, to increase Rotary Foundation giving and project engagement, and to gain enhanced public image in their communities.
