Unlock new
opportunities
with your district governor!
|
Exciting changes are underway in how district governors will support clubs in districts participating in the Rotary Pacific Regionalisation Plan, bringing you more tailored and impactful engagement than ever before.
Here's what's new: Personalised engagement: Forget the one-size-fits-all approach. Governors now have the flexibility to engage with your club in ways that truly resonate with your club's needs. Whether it's a special event, a key function, or a targeted initiative, you get to decide how and when to connect. Efficient use of time: With the past requirement to visit every club annually now lifted, your governor can focus more on providing valuable support and less on travel. This means more time for what matters |
most - strengthening your club's impact and success.
Innovative connection strategies: The annual district conference is evolving! Governors are empowered to explore creative and effective ways to engage with members, offering fresh and dynamic approaches that suit your district's unique needs and preferences. Enhanced support: Even as he governor role evolves, their commitment to supporting and inspiring your club remains unwavering. Expect more targeted, relevant assistance designed to help your club thrive in new and exciting ways. Make sure you embrace the opportunity to shape your club's engagement with your |
district governor and discover how these innovations can drive your club's success. Get ready to connect , collaborate and champion ideas with a new level of club support and inspiration! ***

A personal invitation to District 9685 Conference 2025
|
|
Dear fellow Rotarians,
It gives me great pleasure to personally invite you to our 2025 District Conference to be held at the Pullman, Penrith, on 21 and 22 March 2025.
Our conferences have always been a one-of-a-kind expo on humanitarian work with high quality speakers - a great way to share stories of the good work of Rotary, and to make and renew friendships with fellow Rotarians.
As global humanitarian needs reach record levels, our Rotary community is looking for ways to widen our reach and deliver more to those in need locally and globally. Accordingly, our 2025 District Conference has been themed as our first ever Sustainability and Humanitarian Summit for “A Better World through people & Rotary”.
Some highlights of our Sustainability & Humanitarian Sumit:
Watch this space for more details of these new elements, the overall program and keynote speakers. The team and I will keep you updated of major developments over the coming months.
I appeal to you for your support in registering, in inviting your friends, and in starting to think about how your club can use the airtime on stage to share the best of what you do every day for your communities locally and globally.
You can register through this link - https://ourbetterworld2025.wordpress.com/
Join me and together we can make ‘A Better World through people and Rotary’!

Some highlights of our Sustainability & Humanitarian Sumit:
- It will bring together all Rotarians from our District as well as appeal to people from the broader community who want to make a difference – so they can hear Rotary’s stories and opportunities for humanitarian service.
- We will have a series of short presentations by clubs (in-person or pre-recorded) that showcase their signature projects and the impact they have had.
- To generate ideas and new ways to solve humanitarian and sustainability problems, the Summit will host a competition for university/TAFE/high school students to channel their creativity and develop social impact projects that could be scaled up by interested clubs.

What it takes to be a Rotarian
There are members of the community who may have some misunderstandings about what it takes to be a Rotarian.
We are always looking for new members and, in fact, it is new people joining that keeps us alive as a Service club. From time to time I hear people say things that make me think they don't consider joining or even visiting Rotary for all the wrong reasons.
This article is about the things you don't need to join Rotary, and the things you do, just in case you are not sure. The other thing you should know is that we are a very friendly bunch of men and women and we have a lot of fun, as well as achieving some pretty good things in the community.
