The Official Visit

Katherine Hahn, Governor 2024-2025

Katherine’s “Official”  District Governor visit (2024-25)

I’m excited to visit your club during the upcoming year. Rotary International recommends that, as District Governor, I visit each club once a year. While I’m visiting I hope to:
  • be able to listen to the members of your club and gain a better understanding of how and what your club is doing
  • Talk about RI President Stephanie’s priorities and highlight her initiatives  
  • Discuss District 6330 priorities and goals
  • Inspire members to participate in club and district activities and service projects
  • Recognize outstanding club projects and the work of individual Rotarians
  • Discuss important club matters with club leaders

We can tailor my visit to your club to suit its needs.  In preparation for my visit, here are some things to think about: 

  • If possible I’d love to meet with your entire Board for about an hour, before or following your club meeting.  This is a good time to discuss your club’s progress on your goals and service initiatives
  • Please send me an agenda for my time with you (Make sure your contact information including cell phone and club address is correct in Club Runner so I don’t get lost)
  • Let me know if there are customs and traditions unique to your Club that you wish to be observed during my visit
  • Keep your Assistant Governor in the loop and informed. It would be great if they could attend the Board of Directors meeting with me and any other events that we are invited to attend
  • Please ask if there is someone in the club that can help to get to know members of your club.  (time permitting)
  • I’d like to have about 20-25 minutes to speak with your club and preferably be the only program for the day. If you would like me to make a special presentations, i.e. induct new members, present Major Donor recognition, award Paul Harris Fellows, Paul Harris Society members, Bequest Society members, etc. please allow for some additional time and, please let me know in advance that you want to include this.
  • I will have a PowerPoint presentation and a laptop– please have equipment available for it to be projected. 
  • I am always happy to participate in your clubs service projects. If you would like me to be present for that in lieu of a club visit, please let me know so that we can arrange my calendar to suit.
