The program is focused on providing working professionals from various industries with the conflict resolution tools they need to foster peace and peaceful conflict resolution in their fields. The requirements for this program are centered on appropriate professional experience and proven commitment to the field. The skills and theories learned can then be used by the participants in real life situations.<br /><br />All Rotary clubs are invited to submit applicants. Rotary clubs and districts are not required to financially support their applicants. Contact your district Rotary Foundation chair if you have a suitable candidate in mind.<br /><br />Week 35:<br />This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about a new volunteer position within Rotary called the Rotary Foundation Alumni Coordinators (RFACs). These new volunteer coordinators have been asked to encourage Rotary clubs and districts to involve Foundation program alumni in Rotary activities; to urge clubs to consider alumni as potential members of Rotary and as potential contributors to The Rotary Foundation; and to use alumni as effective advocates for the programs of The Rotary Foundation.<br /><br />Alumni include individuals who have been part of a Group Study Exchange team or have been Ambassadorial Scholars or Rotary Peace Fellows. Do any of you know a Foundation alumnus that might be interested in joining Rotary? If so, contact your area Rotary Foundation Alumni Coordinator through your district Rotary Foundation Chair.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Serve on, serve well!!!
