Ugadan Samuel Owori has been confirmed president-nominee of Rotary International, a humanitarian service organization that
unites leaders committed to improving lives and bringing positive, lasting
change to communities around the world reports ITRealms.
As a member of the Rotary Club Kampala, Uganda for 38 years,
Owori says, “Rotary has become a way of life for me – with the intrinsic value
and core belief in mutual responsibility and concern for one another as a
cornerstone. I feel immense satisfaction knowing that through Rotary, I’ve
helped someone live better.”
During his one-year term as Rotary’s 108th president
beginning on 1 July 2018, Owori will focus on building membership worldwide and
increasing visibility and understanding of Rotary. He’s played an instrumental
role in growing the number of clubs in Uganda from nine to 89 over the course
of 29 years. “Today more than ever, the world needs to know and understand
Rotary’s impact and values of advancing international understanding, goodwill
and peace,” says Owori.
“We are all too busy and we’ve lost our patience.
Through friendship and service, membership in Rotary offers countless ways to
connect and create meaningful change in your community, as well as
opportunities to see the world through a more global lens.”
Rotary members throughout the world take action to make
communities better. They contribute
their time, energy and passion to carry out impactful and sustainable projects
in the areas of peace and conflict resolution, disease prevention and
treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and
literacy, and economic and community development.
