Updated leadership terminology to start July 1
Our current “ExComm,” will transition to become the Executive Board. This team will make the guiding decisions and oversee all CNY Rotary committees (in place of the former District Governor or “DGX line”, as the team was sometimes called).
Board members are outlined above.
Our current “Steering Committee,” will transition to become the Leadership Council. It will include all of the Executive Board, plus the Membership Chair, Foundation Chair, Public Image Chair, DEI Chair, Learning Chair, Service Chair, Youth Chair and Rotaract Chair.
The secretary and treasurer will participate in Leadership Council meetings in a non-voting capacity.
