New award celebrates success of women in Rotary
ByTory Paxson, Rotary Club of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, USA
On Tuesday, 13 June, we sat down in a cool auditorium in the Carter
Center in Atlanta, Georgia, for the first annual Women in Rotary Event. The four
of us sitting together were all women, all members of my Rotary club, and all at
our very first Rotary International Convention. We were unaware of the impact
this event was about to have on us. But then, the lights began to dim.
It has only been a short 30 years since the landmark decision to allow
women to join Rotary. Being only 27 years of age myself, this reality seems a bit
absurd. All of these incredible, passionate and driven women I have met since
joining Rotary have only had the space of my lifetime to catch up in leadership
roles, in Rotary pride and projects? Really?And yet as lights shone down on our
presenters, we felt that 30 years, while short, has been plenty of time for these
women to shine.
