A Rotary District is a group of Rotary Clubs within a geographical boundary. The purpose of a district is to strengthen, advise, and support clubs. It does this by developing consistent approaches, policies and procedures, and interpretations of Rotary International (RI) policies and procedures to help guide Clubs in their service activities. It is also the interface between Rotary Clubs and RI.

 

The District Governor provides support, guidance, and advice to Rotary Clubs within the District.  Together with the District Governor, District leaders have responsibilities for areas including but not limited to Finance, Membership, International Service, The Rotary Foundation, Public Image/Communications/Outreach, and Youth Programs.

 

Rotary International District 7040 (D7040) consists of 64 Rotary Clubs and 8 Rotaract Clubs, with over 1,600 members.  In addition, D7040 has a number of school-based Interact and Earlyact Clubs.  These Clubs are found in a geographical area from Eastern Ontario to Western Quebec, the Ottawa Valley, parts of northern New York, and Iqaluit in Nunavut.  This makes us a bilingual, binational, and multi-cultural District, which allows for amazing diversity.

 

We are seeking to appoint a District Governor for 2027-28.  As Governor-Nominee and then Governor-Elect prior to taking on the Governor’s role, the successful candidate will be part of the District Leadership team, and have the opportunity to learn about the District, its Clubs, and its members.  The successful candidate will also become part of an international network of Governors for the year 2027-28, an amazing experience as she/he gets to know their counterparts in North America and further afield.  The successful candidate will have the chance to meet and interact with this cadre of future Governors in various international meetings and assemblies.

 

 

 

If so, nominations for the role of D7040 District Governor 2027-28 should be sent to d7040nominations@gmail.com by Friday, November 16, 2024.  It is anticipated that interviews will be held in November 23, 2024.
