Public Image

The team managing the very website you are on is in need of more talented members to help with the website, social media and our outbound communications. This must be a cohesive team with a variety of skillsets, so consider lending your PR talents! Use the contact form on this page or contact chair Joe Abraham.
 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

Our DEI team is always growing, but welcomes more interested in helping with their mission to educate clubs on the basics of DEI, ensure all of our CNY Rotary events are accessible, support communications and learning opportunities for DEI. Any experts on DEI-related subjects are especially welcome, even just in advisory roles. Use the form on this page to let us how you could contribute to the team or reach out to our DEI Chair Pam Baxter.
 

Youth Programs

Our Youth Exchange Program is looking for more people to serve as country contacts and get involved to ensure we have a strong bench of future leaders. This is incredibly rewarding work that helps you be part of the cultural exchange experience!
We need people experienced in or interested in learning to lead for Interact and our Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA). 
The Interact Chair would help us keep track of all sponsored clubs in the region and be a support person for clubs looking to start a new Interact Club in their school or community.
 
 

Rotaract

With Rotaractors now official members of Rotary, there is a lot of opportunity to attract new members to volunteering with our organization. We just need someone to coordinate the effort, keep in touch with the evolving leadership of the college-based clubs, and work on identifying opportunities to establish new, community-based clubs. This should be a team effort and it starts with identifying a chair person, who will also be part of our greater Leadership Council, which means appointment requires approval of the Executive Board.

    WHY SERVE WITH CNY?

    Volunteering at the regional level is rewarding for many reasons.
     
    Committed Volunteers
    Typically, the people volunteering at this level operate at a higher commitment level, which can make for a more positive volunteer experience. People leading and participating on the committees outlined here are passionate about those aspects of Rotary and get excited to do that kind of work. It's a very positive vibe!
     
    Learning Opportunities
    The higher up you go in Rotary, the more learning there will be. Between osmosis the experienced leaders you are volunteering with and attending bigger learning events, your skills and expertise will grow. When you become someone who is in the loop with regional activities, you become much more informed overall!
     
    Meet New Friends
    In our new region, this is a great way to meet more members from places you may have never connect with before. People who are even more like-minded because they care about the parts of Rotary you are care about most. It's a great place for true connection and purpose!
