Charting a New Course: Reflections on Becoming President Nominee and Transition Plans

Patrick Ford Rukyera

After being nominated as President Nominee, the feeling was a mixture of excitement, honor and responsibility.

This will include membership growth, fundraising goals and community service initiatives.

I will endeavor to attend all Rotary Club meetings and workshops and participate in any additional events offered by the district. I will attend leadership and training workshops to improve my skills. I will learn from the incoming President by shadowing her at meetings, events and community service projects. I will take notes and ask questions to understand the decision making and leadership style to adopt.

In conclusion as President Nominee, I will assist the incoming President in realization of the Objectives of Rotary by taking substantive and adequate strides to uplift the club, support the community and appeal to new members, inspire next generation, and continue to work on projects we are passionate about.
