Submitted By: Rick Bricker, District Governor- Nominee
As one Rotary year ends and another begins it becomes the responsibility of your District Governor- Elect and Nominee to fill committee chairs and assistant governor positions. One position that needs to be filled is the Vocational Training Team chair. This position is unique as it comes with a budget already in place. A couple of years ago the grants committee put aside $15,000 in District Designated Funds to support a V.T.T. It was intended to provide a leadership training program in Haiti. The project never happened and the money is still available for a V.T.T. A couple of ideas that are being reviewed is a team for diabetes education and another for dealing with non-profits in Ethiopia. Let me add that a V.T.T. is funded by a global grant that has a $30,000 minimum. The D.D.F. can be used for a match to make that minimum. The team can also include a project. For more information please contact me.
