At the 2016 Zone 33/34 Institute which took place from 13th thru 16th October 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina, District 7030 was recognized for having contributed more than twenty percent (20%) of its District Designated Fund to END POLIO NOW (the Rotary Foundation's PolioPlus Program) during the 2015-2016 Rotary year. Immediate Past District Governor Milton Inniss received the certificate on behalf of the District with DG Roger Bose, DGE Waddy Sowma and many other Past District Governors attending the event and representing D7030 to the fullest.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WHAT IS ZONE INSTITUTE?
 
One of the shortest and simplest ways to describe the Rotary Institute is say it’s like a mini International Convention, filled with incredible speakers, fellowship, and invaluable training & inspiration.
 
Each year, past, present, and incoming district and senior leaders attend Rotary institutes to share information, build connections, and exchange ideas about Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. The institutes usually meet for three to five days, and the program includes:
  • An update on The Rotary Foundation and its programs
  • A report on our polio eradication efforts
  • A five-year forecast presented by a director or other RI Board representative
  • An open forum where participants can make recommendations to the RI Board
  • Local and international speakers sharing information on relevant topics
  • A chance to network, reconnect with friends, and find inspiration for continuing your service and leadership in your community
  • Entertainment and social outings
An institute may assemble leaders from one zone, part of a zone, or several zones. The RI president designates one or more conveners to organize each institute and serve as his or her representative there. Past Rotary officers often participate as speakers, panelists, discussion leaders, and institute committee members. Past, present, and future district governors, RI presidents, directors, trustees, and regional leaders typically attend Rotary institutes.
