March is Women's History Month, commemorating and encouraging the study, observance, and celebration of women’s vital role in American history.
Women are active participants in Rotary, serving as leaders in their communities in increasing numbers. When the 1989 Rotary International Council on Legislation voted to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide, it became a watershed moment in the history of Rotary.
“My fellow delegates, I would like to remind you that the world of 1989 is very different to the world of 1905. I sincerely believe that Rotary has to adapt itself to a changing world,” -Frank J. Devlyn, RI president, 2000-2001”
Fast forward to today, and we are extremely proud that in October 2020, Jennifer E. Jones became a Rotary International presidential nominee—the first female nominee since the organization’s inception. Her term as president will begin July 1st, 2022.
The Rotary Club of Stanwood Camano Island is evenly balanced between men and women. Women have served our club well for many years. In fact, our club was one of the first to have women serve as President!
A huge thank you to the women in our club, our community, our state, our country, our world! We celebrate and honor you this month for all your contributions and accomplishments.
