Important changes to presidential messaging
As part of Rotary’s ongoing commitment to adaptability and increasing our impact, the annual presidential theme is evolving into a strategic presidential message tied directly to our Action Plan. This change will take effect 1 July 2025. The RI president will still promote an annual message.
What will be different:
- A presidential message aligned with the Action Plan
- New approval process with a broader group of stakeholders, led by the Executive Committee of the Board
- No separate presidential logo
- Message of future president-nominees previously determined by the Board
What will stay the same:
- The big annual reveal at the International Assembly by the president-elect
- Presidential materials: year colors, scarves, ties, and more
- The president’s inspirational message for Rotary members each year
The Board of Directors unanimously approved three years’ worth of messaging at their May 2024 meeting. President-elect Mário César Martins de Camargo will unveil the first of these messages at the 2025 International Assembly. If you have any questions, please write to ri.comms@rotary.org.
