Attend the RI Convention in New Orleans

Published on February 7, 2011 in President's Picks and Rotaract News. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

There’s an opportunity for 2 Rotaractors, one from the north district and one from south, to be partially funded to attend the RI Convention in New Orleans. If you were on the fence about this before, this is definitely for you.

There will be $1,000 available for each of the two Rotaractors chosen. The estimated cost for the whole trip would be $1500-2000 so this would cover at least half of that. You can also certainly get creative to save on lodging, which is the biggest cost by far.

If you are interested, please contact a board member or Courtlin so we can nominate you. Please be prepared with a bio (1 page or less). For more information, check out this document.

Having attended two conventions in the past, I highly recommend it. You don’t fully understand Rotary until you attend these historic events.
