District Governor's Message
JANUARY 2020

 

January is Vocational Service Month

How is Vocational Service Implemented in Your Club? 
 
The Concept of Vocational Service is a philosophical statement of Rotary’s purpose and the responsibilities of Rotarians to encourage and foster:
  • High ethical standards in business and professions
  • The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations
  • The dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society 
As a Rotarian, you can implement Vocational Service into action! Consider these suggestions:
  • Talk about your profession in your club, and take time to learn about fellow members’ occupations.
  • Use your skills and expertise to serve a community.
  • Practice your profession with integrity, and inspire others to behave ethically through your words and actions.
  • Help young people achieve their career goals.
  • Guide and encourage others in their professional development. By undertaking these activities, you bring vocational service to life. 
  • Have a discussion with fellow Rotarians about how your club implements Vocational Service.
