International Assembly...
An International Assembly is held each year during February or March to prepare all of the district governors-nominee from around the world for the office they will assume on 1 July. Accompanied by their spouses, the 525 incoming governors join a host of experienced Rotarian leaders for more than a week of training and motivational sessions. At the assembly they meet the special Rotarian who will serve as RI president during their year as governors and they learn the RI theme for the coming year around which they will build their district’s conference.
The first International Assembly was held in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A., in 1919. Later assemblies were held in Lake Placid, New York; Boca Raton, Florida; and Nashville, Tennessee. In recent years the assembly has been held in Anaheim, California. But regardless of the venue, the message on the sign above the plenary hall has remained unchanged for years: “Enter to learn… go forth to serve.”
