District Governor

To our District Governor, we give all our thanks to you and the district for supporting the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. It is a key part of Rotary's mission for World Peace and Understanding, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve the district and humanity with the program.

Some key things you can do to help support the program are:

1) Mention it in your club visits

2) Make sure your AGs understand the program and are able to help clubs pursue their own students

3) Include breakout sessions for RYE during the District Conference

4) Support the existing Inbounds by including them for meals, and if needed having some overnight facilities for them during the conference

5) Continuing to support the parade of flags during the conference

6) Helping to keep track of Rebounds after they come back, and making sure they are invited to the Alumni Reception, and/or are included in Rotaract events

7) Providing a Table in the Hall of Friendship for the RYE to display information

8) Providing a Table in the Hall of Friendship for ROTEX to display information and/or sell fundraisers.

9) Promote connections between Interact, RYE, ROTEX, and Rotaract

10) Request participation of someone in Youth Services (and/or the RYE subcommittee) on your district conference committee so that known issues that crop up from year to year can be identified, avoided, and so we can look for creative ways to continue to make improvements in the presentation of RYE during the conference.

11) Ask the RYE committee to help provide information for District Assembly, and for PETS

12) Look for ways to expand the District RYE committee

Anyone on the district committee would be more than happy to help answer any questions and provide support for your year.

Thanks for all you do!
