People of Action Award: Celebrating Local Community Changemakers
Background
For over a century, Rotary International has dedicated itself to addressing the needs of communities worldwide. Although some members of the general public are familiar with our name, our most recent research suggests that the public still lacks a comprehensive understanding of Rotary. They do not know what we stand for and are not familiar with any Rotary programs. They are unaware of the work we do in local communities. Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed reported being unaware that a Rotary Club exists in their community.
What is the Club’s People of Action Award?
Every community has unsung heroes—neighbors, teachers, volunteers, business owners, and organizations whose quiet dedication creates lasting change. Rotary District 7430 invites every Rotary club in our district to shine a spotlight on these extraordinary individuals through the “Rotary Club’s People of Action Award”, presented during the Club’s annual District Governor visit if possible.
