DETERMINATION
(LEAD) CONFERENCE

ROTARY CLUBS SUPPORT LEAD BECAUSE

LEAD Delegates are our future leaders and become part of the Family of Rotary. Delegates are encouraged to join an Interact Club when they enter high school and to participate in other Rotary youth activities such as Youth Exchange and RYLA. Rotarian Facilitators have a golden opportunity to share their love of service and to share the Four-Way Test with the next generation of leaders.
