4. JHON HEWKO, RI & TRF GENERAL SECRETARY said at
INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY at
SAN DIAGO
A number of major initiatives are underway that will
help Rotary International’s professional staff, the Sec-
retariat, be a more effective, efficient, and useful re-
source for clubs and districts. Addressing the fifth ple-
nary session of the International Assembly, an annual
training event for incoming district leaders, RI General
Secretary John Hewko spelled out five priorities for
strengthening the organization.
Eradicating polio Hewko said the first priority is the eradication of polio, Rotary’s signature
global initiative since 1985. Eradication of polio will save hundreds of thousands of children
from suffering from the disease, and save the world between US$40 billion and $50 billion in
health care costs over the next 20 years.
Future Vision The second priority is implementing RI’s Strategic Plan and the global launch
of the Future Vision Plan, The Rotary Foundation’s new grant making model. Hewko said
Future Vision is the second most important Rotary initiative, after polio, and it will be im-
portant to get district leaders on board to support the launch.
Rotary Club Central The third priority, developing a new tool called Rotary Club Central,
will help Rotary place a value on the thousands of service projects clubs do each year. The
online resource will help clubs maintain a record of past activities; set and track strategic
goals and initiatives; and allow reporting of the global, collective impact of club, district, and
zone activities.
Membership The fourth priority is membership, including making Rotary more appealing
and relevant to younger members. The RI Board has launched an initiative to develop three-
year regional membership plans tailored to specific regional needs and challenges. Achieving
