District 6040 News
As we embark on the 2025–2026 Rotary year, I am filled with anticipation and pride to serve as your District Governor. This year, we embrace the powerful message from Rotary International  Unite for Good – Growing Stronger, Leading Together.
 
This theme calls upon us to come together in service, collaboration, and impact, reinforcing our shared mission of making the world a better place. It emphasizes the strength of our collective efforts and the profound difference we can make when we unite with purpose.
In our district, we will focus on three essential pillars:
  • Innovation: Embracing new ideas and approaches to meet the evolving needs of our communities.
  • Continuity: Building upon the successes of the past to ensure sustained impact.
  • Partnership: Strengthening collaborations to amplify our service and reach.
Together, we will embody the "Unite for Good" spirit, fostering unity and inclusivity in all our endeavors. Let us work hand in hand to create lasting change and inspire others to join us in our mission.
 
As we prepare for the year ahead, my vision rests on three strategic pillars:
🔹 Growing Our Membership
🔹 Creating Engaging Club Experiences
🔹 Making Our District Relevant and Future-Ready
 
And these aren’t just our district goals—they are perfectly aligned with the Rotary Action Plan, which will guide our journey.
 
1.Growing Our Membership – Expand Our Reach
To truly unite for good, we need more hands, more voices, more hearts. We will actively welcome new members by highlighting the value of Rotary in today’s world—through storytelling, community impact, and personal connection.
But this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about diversity, inclusivity, and representation. We will create space for people of all ages, backgrounds, and professions to find purpose and belonging in Rotary.
 
2. Creating Engaging Club Experiences – Enhance Participant Engagement
 
An engaged Rotarian is an inspired Rotarian. In 2025–2026, we will revitalize the club experience. That means relevant programs, mentorship opportunities, leadership development, and yes—more fun.
We will encourage clubs to explore flexible meeting formats, inter-club collaboration, and service projects that make every member feel seen, heard, and essential.
We will ask every club to think: If I weren’t already a member, would I want to join this club today? And then we’ll work together to make that answer a resounding yes.
 
3. Making Our District Relevant – Increase Our Ability to Adapt & Increase Our Impact
 
Our district must be a living, breathing source of support, innovation, and leadership—not just a structure, but a spark.
We'll be investing in better communication, more accessible training, and district-wide projects that matter—to our communities and to our members.
We’ll celebrate innovation, embrace new technology, and showcase how Rotary leads in real-world issues—healthcare, education, the environment, and peacebuilding.
And through it all, we’ll measure success not only by projects completed—but by people empowered.
 
So Let’s “Unite for Good”
 
My friends, this is not a one-person mission. This is our journey—together.  Looking forward to Growing Stronger and Leading Together in 2025-2026!
 
In Rotary Service,
Jodi Sundaram, District Governor 2025-2026, Rotary Club of Liberty
