 Create Hope in the World, during the International Assembly

in Orlando, Florida, USA, 9 January.

world heal from destructive conflicts and

create lasting change within ourselves.

 a focus and emphasized continuity.

 in advancing the goals of previous leaders,

including empowering girls and eradicating polio










13 January 2023 marks 12 years since the last case of wild poliovirus in India –

a remarkable public health success.

“It seemed impossible until it was done!” – Dr Hamid Jafari,

Director of Polio for WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region,

we can take from this to address the final challenges.

for achieving eradication in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Rotary Means Business Presents

 

THE BUSINESS OF SERVING WITH ANDREW YORK

- ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY WA INC

 

.....A discussion on why the NFP sector may need more

of our commercial acumen

in the years ahead to adapt, survive and thrive”.

 

BOOK HERE

 

Come and network with your fellow business Rotarians

 and their guests from across WA,

 enjoy a drink, some nibbles and inspiring

 discussion in superb surrounds.

– all for only $30.

 

Hear the perspective of an enterprise-innovation 

tasked senior executive of a 157-year-old,

$35M P/A WA social-enterprise,

 utilising over 3000 staff and volunteers

 to service more than 61,000 vulnerable members 

of our community each year.

That’s ‘serious business’ in anyone’s language,

 and no doubt filled with insights for all

– how do they do it,

 and how will it need to be done in the future

 as demand and competition grows?

 

St. Vincent de Paul Society is a long-standing 

and now primarily self-funded,

 social impact focused enterprise.

But it didn't begin like that –

learn about its ongoing business evolution

and the value others could derive from it.

Rotary Means Business WA is a 

Fellowship of Rotary International.

 It is a vibrant, valuable and productive business 

Fellowship that enhances

 B2B and B2C commerce between

 and for Rotarians in business

, and also provides an avenue to help strategically

 scale up members'

 good works at their Rotary Club.

 Its ethos is based on the principles 

of the Rotary Four Way Test

 which talks about honesty, fairness,

 friendship and benefit to all concerned.
