Governor-Elect Talks Future Vision

Guest Speaker DGE Andy Chused

The Guest Speaker at Newport Rotary on Monday night was District 7730 Governor-Elect Andy Chused from Morehead City, who addressed the club on the multitude of changes occurring with our Rotary Foundation next year, called "Future Vision", and previewed some of the district goals for 2013-14. He was invited and introduced by Past District Governor Bevin  Wall.

Future Vision is in the last year of its three year pilot process with about 20% of the Rotary Districts in the world. The program was adopted to streamline our Foundation's operations for improved efficiency and focus its efforts to achieve greater impact and public recognition. It includes a more forward-looking, simplified, collaborative and Rotarian-controlled grant process, with "sustainability" for 10 years being a benchmark. It also looks at integration of numerous programs, such as scholarships, grants for projects, and vocational training teams working collaborative with a single set of project objectives.
