PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE – July 2025

Welcome to a New Era of Action and Transformation at RAGCED

Dear Friends and Fellow Rotarians,

It is an honor for me to address you at the beginning of this new chapter in my Rotary journey as Chair of the Rotary Action Group for Community Economic Development (RAGCED).

I am excited about the opportunity to lead this global initiative, which works tirelessly to strengthen community economic development and improve the living conditions of the world’s most vulnerable communities. My main objective in this role is to continue building on RAGCED’s strong foundation and deepen our commitment to combating poverty and creating a more prosperous and equitable future for all.
