From University Club Past President David Spicer:
I am reaching out to you because I serve on a Task Force created by our DG Cathy Gibson re Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Our Task Force has been working hard to create an opportunity around education and action on matters of racial justice.
Towards that end we are organizing a symposium entitled “Race Matters to Rotary.” This will be a Zoom gathering on Saturday, November 21, from 9-12. Please see the Save the Date below as well as more information about the informative sessions. We will have speakers and breakout meetings with the goal being to both inform and provide practical action steps where Rotary Clubs can promote racial justice by diversifying club membership, working with organizations on racial justice, supporting minority owned businesses in their community, etc. See more info below.
Yours in Rotary,
Dave Spicer
Immediate Past President of University District Rotary
