THE ROTARY FOUNDATION: Recruiting for GSE Team Members to NORWAY underway
|
One of The Rotary Foundation's most popular programs is the Group Study Exchange [GSE]. Planning
in our district for GSE Norway is well underway. We have two fantastic team leaders in
place-- Team Leader Kathy Stromvig (RC SE Portland), and Alternate Team Leader
Eric Reise (RC Hermiston). Team Leader Kathy is working hard at recruiting team
member applicants, but we need your help!
The deadline for team member applications is August
28th. Potential team members must be between ages 25 and 40, be employed
full time, and either live or work in our Rotary district. They cannot be
Rotarians or be the lineal descendant of a Rotarian. A love of
travel, interest in other cultures, and desire to learn more about Rotary are
musts. Most costs for the trip are paid for by Rotary.
Interviews for GSE Norway team member applicants will be
held on Saturday, September 12th. Dates for the outbound trip are April
27th to May 18th, 2010. Inbound team from Norway will be here from May
16th to June 6th, 2010. We will start recruiting clubs to host the
inbound team this fall.
All Rotarians, especially AGs, TRF Specialists, Presidents and club
officers, are encouraged to "talk up" GSE and encourage Rotarians to
recruit applicants and host clubs. As you all know, GSE is a cultural and
vocational opportunity that can be life-changing. We hope to recruit many
qualified applicants with your help.
