Feb 25, 2021 4:00 PM
Throughout 2020-2021, Rotary Internationl is hosting a DEI webinar series to explore Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Read more about the sessions that will be offered. Humans are composed of unique and intersecting sets of social identities, defined by our physical, social, and mental characteristics. Examples include race/ethnicity, gender, social class/socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, disabilities, and religion/religious beliefs. By considering each other’s lives, experiences, and perspectives, we allow a community to be not only about what we have in common but what makes us different. Register now for, Exploring the Black Experience in Rotary on Thursday, 25 February at 15:00 Chicago time (4pm Toronto time), and submit your questions to our experts. A recording of the session will be available to everyone who registers. · Open ourselves to talking about race and identity. · Become aware and acknowledge how our own social identities impact the club and community experience. · Allow space for all Rotarians to bring their full, most authentic selves to our organization. Sincerely, |

One of the Rotary Club of Oakville's fundraising events is called the Speaker Series. Like many in person events we cancelled the 2020 version and are reintroducing it for 2021 in a virtual setting. The theme is “The Challenges of Leadership Today” and our key note is “Beverley McLachlin, P.C.” former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada (and first woman Chief Justice). This will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Sandra Pupatello, a former Ontario Cabinet Minister and includes Jennifer Jones, Windsor Ontario resident and President Elect for Rotary International . Our primary beneficiary for this year’s event will be Indspire * and we will be hearing from Alana Roberts, one of Indspire’s success stories. Participation in the Webinar is free – we hope to raise funds for Indspire and our other club causes through sponsorships and donations. We think you might be interested in former Chief Justice McLachlin’s perspectives on leadership in particular and we would be very pleased if you and any of your friends and family could join us at 7:00 pm on Tuesday March 9, 2021.
