Rotary District 7080’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is proud to announce the launch of our DEI Roadshow! This exciting initiative features Melanie Taddeo, an inspiring advocate, speaker, and founder of Connect 4 Life, who will be visiting clubs across the district with her dynamic presentation, “The Power of Inclusion.”
 
Melanie’s engaging and thought-provoking session is designed to raise awareness, spark meaningful conversations, and empower clubs to reflect on where they are in their journey toward embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
 
Why Attend?
  • Inspire Change: Learn actionable strategies to foster an inclusive environment within your club.
  • Engage Members: Encourage open dialogue and understanding among club members.
  • Drive Impact: Align your club’s initiatives with Rotary’s commitment to DEI.

2. Calling all Storytellers and Curious Minds! 
 
We're launching a new blog initiative inspired by Humans of New York, and we want YOU to be part of it. 
 
Faces of Rotary will spotlight the powerful stories, passions, and journeys of people in our Rotary community. Whether you're a writer eager to bring voices to life or someone who loves meaningful conversations and wants to interview others, we'd love your help! 
 
No experience required, just heart, curiosity, and a willingness to listen.
