Peace Conferences...
Navigation
From the time Rotarians may read the promotional literature announcing a presidential or regional peace conference to be held some place in the world. Such a conference is quite similar to the annual Rotary International convention but generally smaller in attendance and serving Rotarians and guests in a region that is considerable distance from the site of the international convention.
The purpose of an RI presidential or peace conference is to develop and promote acquaintance, friendship and understanding among the attendees, as well as to provide a forum to discuss and exchange ideas about Rotary and international affairs related to humanitarian service and activities to promote goodwill and understanding. Some peace conferences are sponsored by districts with support from The Rotary Foundation.
Presidential conferences usually attract two or three thousand individuals, and, because they are considered special events in the Rotary calendar, are not held on any regular schedule. The conferences are arranged by a committee appointed by the RI president.
Rotarians from all parts of the world are always welcome to attend. Participating in a peace conference in another region is an enjoyable, rewarding and fascinating experience. It provides another facet to the international fellowship of Rotary.
