Rotary District 7170

Rotary members believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues. We work together to:

  • Promote peace
  • Fight disease
  • Provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
  • Save mothers and children
  • Support education
  • Grow local economies
  • Protect the environment
Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas and take action on our world’s most persistent issues. District 7170 supports Rotary Clubs in South Central New York State. 
 
Learn About Our Causes. Get Involved. Create Hope in the World.

LET'S COME TOGETHER IN BINGHAMTON

We hope all members of the future CNY Rotary districts will plan to join us for a joint conference in the spring of 2024. Dynamic speakers, breakouts that will inspire action, and a lot of fellowship will make it a worthwhile way to spend a weekend immersed in Rotary. We will celebrate our clubs, learn about new ways to serve, better understand our impact around the world, and look to the future of our region.
Please save the dates April 26-28, 2024 and watch your district communications
for the invitation to register in January!

November's message from DG Wendy
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
 
As we approach the holiday season whether its Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, Diwali, or Bodhi day, I’d like to extend my warmest wishes to all members, their families, and friends.
 
Reflecting on the past year, I’m grateful for the unwavering support and dedication of each member, whose commitment has helped us make a meaningful impact in our various humanitarian endeavors.
 
Throughout the year we have worked together, embodying the Rotary spirit of service above self. From local initiatives to global projects, your contributions have touched countless lives and have made a difference.
 
As we celebrate the holidays and welcome the new year, let’s continue to uphold the values of Rotary – fostering goodwill, promoting peace, and striving for a better world for all.
 
I hope this festive season brings you joy, peace and wonderful moments with those you hold dear. Wishing you all the best!
 
Your District Governor 2023-2024

Leader for 2026-27

Could you be our CNY Rotary leader for 2026-27?

It is time once again for us to seek nominations for a President of CNY Rotary. Similar to how we found our Presi-dent Nominee last spring, we'll open up nominations for one month and a candidate must be nominated by their club. But that doesn't mean you have to wait to see if your club asks you! If you are interested and qualified, you can approach your club's president to ask them to take your name to the board and help you complete the nomina-tion form.
 
To qualify, you will have to have been in Rotary for seven years by the time you take office July 1, 2026. You also must have completed a year as a club president and be an active member in good standing. And you will want to be someone who thrives on meeting new people, enjoys sharing the inspiring word of Rotary, and likes traveling around our beautiful region.

Preparation for becoming President of CNY Rotary will start as soon as the candidate is confirmed with joining the leadership team and attending multiple trainings provided (and paid for) by Rotary International. There will be plenty of time to ramp up your Rotary IQ, work with the CNY Rotary team and hone your leadership skills.

Click here for details on the nominating process, including the nomination form and more details on the role. We will also ask you to submit a Rotary resume. All nominations are due by October 31st and interviews will be conducted in November via zoom.
 
Being a volunteer leader is a special role that requires more sacrifice but is richly rewarding. Whether it is you who is up for the challenge, or you know someone else who would be a great fit, now is the time to act. Thank you in advance to the candidates who come forward and to the nominating committee for their important work in this pro-cess!

Welcome to the Rotary Foundation Minute

Over the next couple of weeks, I will focus our Rotary Foundation Minutes on the lesser known programs of our Rotary Foundation. Last week, it was the Peace Centers. This week, it is Disaster Response.

DISASTER RESPONSE GRANTS
 
Rotary’s disaster response grants support relief and recovery efforts in areas that have been affected by natural disasters within the past six months. In 2021-22, the Foundation approved 207 disaster response grants, and program awards totaled $7.8 million. This includes the $25,000 grant District 7170 was awarded to help schools in Lviv, Ukraine.
 
Until next week,

Strengthen Club Leadership 
The Multi-District Membership Committee is bringing you another installment of Membership Monday, but this time it’s in a short video. As a continuation in their series of highlighting the five pillars of a vibrant and growing club, this month we’re talking about strengthening club leadership.
 
We interviewed some experienced Rotarians to get their best tips for strengthening leaders in our clubs and we hope you find it helpful. Check out (18) Strong Rotary Leaders - Part II - YouTube for four and a half minutes of inspiration.
