Some members might know by now that I am the current District Conference Registrar. I like the job because I get to talk to Rotarians throughout our District and further afield. There is Rotary at a Club level which most Rotarians are comfortable with but there is a huge world of Rotary beyond that which most Rotarians have no idea about.
The easiest way to take a few steps into the next level of Rotary is to front up to a District Conference. I get that you might be all shy and scared but that lasts all of five seconds. Rotarians are just the same as you and me. Yes, some may not speak the same language or have the same culture but we are all on the same page.
The District Conference is a very useful tool for new Rotarians to find contacts to build their networks and find information to build their understanding. It is fun, as engaging as you want it to be and if you hit the right people, a pathway to do great things early in your Rotary years. Surrounding yourself with a diverse range of people will always keep you mindful of the world around you.
So, take a chance and see what you can learn on level one: District Conference 101. If you are like me, you could make a few friends over a couple of bevs or gain the ability to change lives because you met the right people.
