TRF Trustees Message PDF Print E-mail
MajiyagbeDear family of Rotary,

In recent years, it has become customary for the incoming trustee chair of The Rotary Foundation to establish goals that will motivate Rotarians to action and provide a framework for measuring our achievement.

In developing goals for the Foundation in 2008-09, I considered what broad objectives could best make our Foundation even stronger and more prominent today. I asked myself what Rotarians can do to help the Foundation better meet the world’s ever-increasing human needs. After much thought, I determined that during 2008-09, The Rotary Foundation will:
  • Keep our promise to eradicate polio.
  • Embrace the two Foundation pillars of support: the Annual Programs Fund through the Every Rotarian, Every Year initiative, and the Permanent Fund.
  • Participate in Your Foundation/Our Foundation, a “lend a hand” program for sharing funds from club and district foundations to permanently establish the Rotary World Peace Fellowships program and support global polio eradication.
  • Enhance Rotary’s public image.
  • Support the Foundation’s Future Vision Plan.

These are truly exciting times for our Foundation. We are moving closer to realizing our dream of a polio-free world, and our Future Vision Plan promises a more efficient and effective use of our resources. I ask all of you to join with the Foundation Trustees in supporting our goals and making 2008-09 a banner year for The Rotary Foundation.

Jonathan Majiyagbe
Foundation Trustee Chair
