E-MEETING: How Our Club Changes the World

The Rotary Club of San Francisco has been a force for change in the Rotary world since the day it was founded in 1908.

Join us as we celebrate the many ways our Club has led the way, and learn about new initiatives that are inspiring Rotary Clubs around the world to move in new directions:

• Ending human trafficking. Trafficking is a crime that damages the lives of people of all ages everywhere. As many as 40 million people are enslaved by human trafficking, but only 0.04% are identified. Based on our legacy of building a better future for all, our Club is now finding new ways to bring an end to the horrors of human trafficking.
• RCAT: the Rotary Climate Action Team. Moving beyond our history of beautifying the environment with projects like Rotary Meadow on Mount Sutro, members of our Club founded the Rotary Climate Action Team. RCAT has grown into an international network of Clubs that supports the creation of Climate Action Teams at the Club level to address the climate crisis.
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Our Club was one of the first in the world to admit women, one of the first to have a woman Club president, and one of the first to have a publicly-identified Gay Club president. Recent pilot tests of an approach to expand the diversity of our membership and our leadership have been successful, and we are ready to launch a Club-wide initiative. Other Clubs are watching.
• In-Person meetings. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced all Rotary Clubs to stop meeting in person, but not many Clubs had a virtually unbroken history of meeting in person for 112 years. We are excited to resume in-person meetings, beginning with lunch on June 22.

This is a regular membership meeting of The Rotary Club of San Francisco, open to all Rotarians, visiting Rotarians, prospective members, and guests. 

The meeting is free, but you must register to get the link.
