Taken from RDU HEREPICTURED: Sylvia Whitlock paved the way for women in Rotary when she became the first female Rotary club president in 1987.
Once excluded from membership, women are now leading Rotary at every level, reshaping the organisation through service, courage and a commitment to opening doors for the next generation.
Words Juliet Potter. PR, Media & Communications Manager.
For almost 80 years, women could support Rotary. They organised fundraisers, volunteered behind the scenes and championed community causes, but they couldn’t become members.
Taken from RDU HERERotary’s goal of 1.25 million members by 2030 calls for sustainable growth, stronger club experiences and a shared commitment to helping more people find connection, purpose and belonging.
Words Brian King. Director of Membership Development.
As Rotary approaches its 125th anniversary, RI has set an ambitious, yet achievable goal: growing our membership to 1.25 million Rotarians by 2030, while also sustaining at least 125,000 Rotaractors.
This marks the first time the organisation has established a specific multi-year membership target. It’s one of the many ways we’re working to strengthen Rotary’s future.
This story was taken from the Interplast website dated March 9, 2026Last year, you may have read about Dr Ben Norris and his fundraising efforts to get a volunteer surgical team to Samoa. Thanks to the support of his generous network of patients, friends, colleagues, and incredible supporters like you, a volunteer Interplast team has returned from a successful surgical program in Apia, Samoa, delivering critical care to many children and adults.
Dr Ben Norris and his fellow volunteers, reconstructive surgeon Associate Professor Damian Marucci, nurse Norma Schwalger, anaesthetist Dr Alan Goodey, theatre nurse M-J Laing, hand therapist Katie Anjou, and anaesthetic nurse Caz McLoughlin, have been visiting Samoa to provide surgeries, post-operative care, and training for local partners and clinicians.
