Support the president's initiatives

Urchick asks members to champion Rotary's Action Plan so they can improve their clubs and keep Rotary strong, find a balance between continuity and change, and work for peace. She also emphasizes the continuing importance of the effort to eradicate polio. She urges members to join or initiate PolioPlus Societies in their districts and do all they can to help end the disease.

Urchick will lead the 2025 Rotary Presidential Peace Conference in Istanbul, Turkey, 20-22 February 2025, with the theme Healing in a Divided World. "This conference will focus on Rotary's peace efforts and provide opportunities to learn together," Urchick says. She notes that Rotary's commitment to peacebuilding is exemplified by the Rotary Peace Fellowship. "The Rotary Peace Fellowship began more than 20 years ago to equip peace and development professionals from communities around the world to become effective catalysts for ending and preventing conflict," she says.
