We encourage incoming club committee chairs to enroll in their role-based learning plans before the start of the next Rotary year. The Learning Center has learning plans for the club administration chair, membership chair, Rotary Foundation chair, public image chair, and service projects chair. Members of those committees can complete the learning plans, too. Find them all in the Learning Center under Club Leadership Courses below.
Administration Committee; Membership Committee; Rotary Foundation Committee; Public Image Committee; and Service Projects Committee.
Technology Tip
Use these tips to help every member have a positive experience when visiting Rotary’s Learning Center:
1. When you share Learning Center materials with people who have never used the Learning Center, tell them to start by going to rotary.org/learn, signing in to My Rotary when prompted, and accepting the privacy policy. They need to do this before they can enroll in courses or learning plans.
2. Members who don’t have a My Rotary account will have to create one before they use the Learning Center.
3. If a link to the Learning Center doesn’t work, try signing in to My Rotary first, navigating to the Learning Center, copying the link, and pasting it in the browser.
If members in your club, district, or zone want to learn more about the Learning Center, they can write to learn@rotary.org to schedule a virtual presentation.

Our World Peace and Understanding Event on February 26 featured an incredibly inspirational talk by John Nanni. John is a Rotarian from Middletown-Odessa, Delaware and is one of 20 million polio survivors. John contracted polio at 10 months just before the Salk vaccine became available. He was paralyzed from the neck down for six months.
After contracting polio in 1952 at age 8, Philip Wilson was left with no use of his arms or left hand. Since then Philip has lived a vibrant and productive life, but without any functioning in his upper body limbs and left hand. He has an inspiring and remarkable story including joining Rotary in 1984, one year prior to Rotary announcing the formation of Polio Plus. Having recently moved into Brooksby Village, Philip and his wife, Jane, are new members of Danvers Rotary. Formerly, Phil had been District 7490 Chair for Polio Plus and has done extensive speaking at Rotary clubs and events. He reminds us of the devastation polio brought to America every summer prior to Jonas Salk developing the vaccine in 1955.
