The district Rotaract representative (DRR) is a Rotaract member elected to serve as
the co-chair of the district Rotaract committee with the district Rotaract chair (DRC),
appointed by the DG
In a district with one Rotaract club, the DRR shall be the most recent, available past
Rotaract club president.
The DRR will be guided and counseled by the DG and should work with the district
Rotaract committee and other appropriate Rotary district committees.
