Historically, it is a significant period in Rotary International with the 2022-23
Rotary year having both a female as RI President, Jennifer Jones from Canada
and Nicki Scott from the UK as Vice
President.
Along with the photo of these ladies,
is a photo which is extremely significant
- one of Jen Jones with Sylvia Whitlock,
who is the fearless lady who fought the establishment along
with her very small Rotary Club
to overturn the law not allowing females as members of Rotary.
Sylvia became the first official female President of a Rotary Club,
continuing on to serve as a District Governor
and is still active in Rotary today at the age of 86
, in the RC Claremont, California.
Congratulations to these three pioneering female
Rotarians.

As Rotarians we share a unique passion for taking action to improve
our communities and the world.
Where others see problems, we see solutions.
This is our chance to show others how Rotarians see what’s possible
in their communities and to highlight what we can achieve when more community leaders
join Rotary. Roslyn Teirney will show you how our
People of Action
campaign will help you do this.
