District Rotaract Executive
Serving as District 2452's Rotaract Executive over the past couple of months has been a simultaneously eye opening and inspiring experience. While writing this piece, all I can think about is how lucky I am that the year I serve as your executive, by our DRR Melia’s side, is the same year the Rotaract District theme is IMPACTION. Impaction has been a prevailing theme in all the Rotaract tasks we have lead for years without us necessarily being aware of it. Individually, we each act in the pursuit of the collective impact of our district. I believe that my role is to facilitate each of yours, to execute and tie the ends of each of your actions leading to remarkable district impact. It has been incredibly fascinating to see each member's, director's, board member's, president's, VDRR'S, and district team member's unique translation of this theme based on their passions and their surroundings' needs in their mission to fulfill each of their role's duties within this rotation With a vision of the 9 countries' beautiful ongoing projects and passion, I will continue to serve with a heart full of hope and promise for an extraordinary year with nothing short of sustainable and profound impact.
