2018/2019 World President Elect
Samuel "Sam" Owori is selected to be 2018-19 Rotary
President.
The 2016-17 Nominating Committee for President of Rotary
International
has unanimously nominated Samuel Frobisher Owori,
of the Rotary
Club of Kampala, Uganda,
to be the president of Rotary International in
2018-19
. He will be declared the president-nominee on 1 October 2016
if no
challenging candidates have been suggested.
Owori says he sees in Rotary "an incredible passion to make
a difference."
As president, he plans to "harness that enthusiasm and
pride
so that every project becomes the engine of peace and prosperity."
Owori's chief concerns as a Rotary leader are membership and
extension.
Since he served as district governor,
the number of clubs in Uganda
has swelled from nine to 89.
He urges past, present, and future leaders to work
together
to engage more women, youth program participants, alumni,
and
community members to increase Rotary's membership in the coming years.
"There are many places which need Rotary and numerous
potential members
who have never been invited," he says.
"The problem
is Rotarians who got in and closed the doors."
Owori is chief executive officer of the Institute of Corporate
Governance of Uganda.
Before that, he was executive director of the African
Development Bank,
managing director of Uganda Commercial Bank Ltd.,
and
director of Uganda Development Bank.
He has studied law, employment relations,
business management
, corporate resources management, microfinance,
and
marketing at institutions in England, Japan, Switzerland, Tanzania,
and the
United States, including Harvard Business School.
Since becoming a member in 1978,
Owori has served Rotary as
regional Rotary Foundation coordinator,
regional RI membership coordinator,
RI
Representative to the United Nations Environment Program
and UN-Habitat, and RI
director
. He has been a member or chair of several committees,
including the
International PolioPlus Committee,
the Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force, and
the Audit Committee.
Most recently, Owori served as trustee of The Rotary
Foundation,
chair of The Rotary Foundation's Finance Committee,
and a member of
the Investment Committee.
Owori is a Benefactor of The Rotary Foundation,
and
he and his wife, Norah, are Major Donors and Paul Harris Fellows.
