The Significant Achievement Award recognizes Rotary clubs for their efforts to address critical needs in their communities and is a wonderful opportunity to showcase vocational service projects in your district. Award-winning projects have included a variety of vocational service activities, such as sponsoring a high school career day, hosting an ethics forum for local businesses, and promoting Four-Way Test essay contests in schools.

Each district submits one club project for consideration by the RI Significant Achievement Award Selection Committee. To learn more about application procedures and deadlines, Rotary clubs should consult with their district governors and visit the RI Awards Web page.

Over the last 10 years, Rotary clubs across the United States have hosted over 2,500 political and civic leaders from Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan through the Open World Program. Funded by the Open World Leadership Center at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., this program aims to forge bonds of friendship and promote international understanding by opening up new avenues of dialogue between leaders in the United States and Eurasia.

Program participants learn about accountable governance, rule of law, social issues, and the development of nongovernmental organizations. Often, host Rotary clubs select additional topics connected to the vocational interests of participants and plan activities related to the theme.
