Young Professionals Summitt

The Young Professionals Campaign (YPC) is excited to announce the opportunity to participate in a unique Rotary event–the Young Professionals Summit.

We know that young Rotarians, Rotaractors, and Rotary alumni are already leaders in their communities. They take action, energize their clubs, and are catalysts for change. The Young Professionals Summit gives 30 of these leaders the chance to share their thoughts, reflect on their stories, and exchange ideas. Through a facilitated discussion called Appreciative Inquiry, we’ll discover what’s working now, identify solutions to challenges, and amplify our positive experiences so that even more young professionals can discover Rotary.

We’re looking for people who are……..

• Young professionals between the ages of 25-40 (or who have shown an extraordinary personal commitment to engaging this group through Rotary)
• Able to attend the Young Professionals Summit on 26-27 September in Chicago, Illinois
• Enthusiastic about the positive experiences they’ve had in Rotary and what Rotary can offer others
• Honest about others’ perceptions of Rotary, Rotary’s ability to attract young professionals, and our common challenges
• Committed to creating a more engaging Rotary environment at the club, district, or regional level
• Willing to be interviewed, photographed, and featured for our Young Professionals materials
• Able to complete this application and video submission by 4 August 2014
• Able to respond to Rotary’s emails, questions, and deadlines promptly--before and after the summit
