RI President 2011-12

RI President-elect Kalyan Banerjee asked Ro-tarians at the 2011 RI Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, on 25 May to go back to their com-munities and think of “new and different ways” to take on the challenges of today.

“We are the doers of our communities, the leaders, the ones who are most involved, who see the prob-lems and have the means to find the solutions,” Banerjee said. “I am asking you to reach within and unleash your inner power and then use it to em-brace everything and everyone around you.”

Banerjee, who will take office 1 July, said Rotarians should be guided by three emphases -- the family, continuity, and change -- as they work to support the 2011-12 RI theme, Reach Within to Embrace Hu-manity.

Family is the first emphasis, he said, because the family is the starting point for everything Rotary is trying to accomplish.

“The family is the building block of the commu-nity,” Banerjee said. “If we wish to see a world that is more joyous, we first have to make sure that the families of the world are more joyous, that they have the things they need to be happy, to thrive, and move forward. So we have to look at housing, at clean water and sanitation, at health care, at all the issues affecting mothers and children.”

Continuity involves continuing and strengthening those things Rotarians do well, said Banerjee.

“There are so many areas in which we have been successful -- working for clean, safe water; spread-ing literacy; working in so many ways with Genera-tion Next, our youth. And of course, our greatest project, polio eradication,” he said. “If we want to really achieve the impossible, we have to have not only persistence, but vision -- we have to be look-

ing past what we are doing now, at what we can and should be doing in the days and years to come.”

Change is the third emphasis, Banerjee said. If Rotarians wish to achieve peace, reduce child mortality, prevent hunger, and stop environ-mental degradation, they must be the instru-ments of that change, he explained.

“We will need to think in new and different ways, explore new ways of seeing,” Banerjee said. “If we do what we have always done, we will get what we have always got -- nothing better, nothing more. This would not satisfy us professionally, and it certainly should not satisfy us in our Rotary service, where the stakes are so much higher.”

Hewko addresses plenary session John Hewko, incoming general secretary, said one of his top priorities will be “to better connect Ro-tarians with the Secretariat, to increase awareness as to what the Secretariat can offer, and to make sure the Secretariat is an effective, efficient, and useful resource for clubs, so that clubs are able to grow and carry out the mission of Rotary.”

Hewko, who will take office 1 July, said the future of Rotary is bright.

"We will rid the world of the terrible scourge of polio -- we will rid the world of this terrible dis-ease -- and then we will be bold and aggressive and identify and conquer the next big global chal-lenge," he said. "We will redouble our public rela-tions efforts to enhance our brand and image so that the world better appreciates and under-stands the great works of Rotary and the value of connecting through fellowship."
