Innovative Gumption message from Rotary International President Jennifer Jones

Jones says she sees Rotary’s Action Plan as a catalyst for increasing Rotary’s impact.

“As we reflect upon our new strategic priorities, we could have never envisioned that our ability to adapt would become our North Star during what is inarguably the most profound time in recent history,” Jones said in her vision statement. “Silver linings rise out of the most challenging circumstances. Using metric-driven goals, I will harness this historic landscape to innovate, educate, and communicate opportunities that reflect today’s reality.”


Jones pledge:

I pledge to Grow Rotary by hosting DEI Summits to create leadership opportunities that foster balance across our membership.
