WE ARE PEOPLE OF ACTION

Welcome to Rotary in District 5020. We represent Rotarians on Vancouver Island, B.C. and Western Washington from Pierce County south to Woodland including the Olympic Peninsula. Rotary unites over a million people worldwide to take action locally and globally. Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity, and intelligence into completing projects that have a lasting impact. We persevere until we deliver real, lasting solutions.

MARCH GOVERNORS MESSAGE 
DG Mo, Past Rotary Foundation Trustee Dean Rohrs & the 1st Female Rotary Club President Sylvia Whitlock
When will Rotary have a female president?
 
It is a question that Rotarians ask a lot.  As a female District Governor, it seems that I get asked the question even more often.
 
I am always happy to be asked when Rotary International will name a female president.  It is exciting that Rotarians want to see that happen.   With International Women’s Day in March, this seems like a natural time to address the issue.
 
There is no shadowy international conspiracy to ensure that only Rotarians with a Y chromosome take on the Rotary International presidency.

YOUTH PROTECTION AWARENESS

Rotary District 5020 is committed to doing the hard work necessary to keep our young people, volunteers, and members safe. For us this includes Club Certification for every club, individual certification for all volunteers who have more than casual contact with youth, training for all volunteers, and the Rotary Statement of Conduct for Working with Youth. In order to make compliance as simple as possible, we have created a roadmap for each type of volunteer in Rotary Youth Protection Programs.

MEMBERSHIP RESOURCES

Building membership is Rotary’s top internal priority, and every member can make a difference. When you have a strong membership base, your club is better able to serve. We need active, engaged, and enthusiastic members and club leaders who can recognize opportunities for growth and act on them. Recognizing and acting on the unique needs, customs, and changes in your community will enhance your ability to increase your membership. Discover key membership documents and training videos to help your club on the District's membership page.

 
 

PUBLIC IMAGE RESOURCES

Promoting Rotary to the general public can be as simple as wearing your Rotary pin or as elaborate as organizing an integrated marketing campaign. By increasing the public's understanding of Rotary, we're strengthening our ability to make an impact in communities around the world. Bringing our story to life is our next charge — and one that requires champions across levels, groups, and functions. We are Rotary, and we have a great story to tell. Discover how to do that on our District public image page.

 
 

FOUNDATION RESOURCES

Doing good in the world, both locally and abroad, is the most well-recognized aspect of The Rotary Foundation. District 5020 has always been a top donor worldwide and continues to lead. Funding for programs above is largely tied to District 5020 contributions over time, making generosity a priority. The Rotary Foundation is comprised of three Funds working together in providing for programs: Annual Fund, Endowment Fund and PolioPlus. Discover more about The Rotary Foundation and some key resources on the District's Foundation page.
