A new United Nations-Rotary Speakers Program has been developed to provide Rotary clubs and districts an opportunity to tap into the expertise available at the United Nations. The program, now being piloted in the United States, makes UN experts available to speak at district conferences, special club meetings, or other Rotary events with more than 100 participants.

Up to two UN Speakers can be invited to a key district or club event to address topics such as the UN Millennium Development Goals, Peacekeeping or Humanitarian Affairs to inform, educate, and inspire Rotary members.

If your U.S. club or district is interested in participating, consider opening the meeting or conference to the general public and inviting local media to cover your event. Read more here
