RI President-elect Kalyan Banerjee asked Rotarians at the 2011 RI Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, on 25 May to go back to their communities and think of “new and different ways” to take on the challenges of today. Download his speech and see video highlights from the plenary.
"We are the doers of our communities, the leaders, the ones who are most involved, who see the problems and have the means to find the solutions," Banerjee said. “I am asking you to reach within and unleash your inner power and then use it to embrace everything and everyone around you.”
Banerjee, who will take office 1 July, said Rotarians should be guided by three emphases -- the family, continuity, and change -- as they work to support the 2011-12 RI theme, Reach Within to Embrace Humanity.
Family is the first emphasis, he said, because the family is the starting point for everything Rotary is trying to accomplish.
