Hello Art,
Thank you for offering to be contacted as an expert in Interact! I have been asked to be Interact Chair for the next 3 years in District 5190. We have great Rotarians in 59 Clubs in our District, and an Interact program that needs to be reinvigorated post COVID. Today we have 22 Active Interact Clubs, 2 on probation and 28 terminated Clubs. My passions are Youth Protection and getting young people involved in Rotary so they potentially become Rotarians for life. We have a strong HR Executive incoming AG in Larry Harvey who is very supportive. Actions I want to take: 1) create a module (or place) in ClubRunner where our District can better track Interact Clubs, people (Advisors, Principals, key school personnel, etc), and youth driven projects. 2) Reinstate as many Interact Clubs across our District as possible. 3) Get Interact involved in our next District Conference (May, 2026 in Reno, NV) with a “human trafficking prevention” presentation. We have an excellent resource – 3Strands Global Foundation based in Sacramento to help with this. Can you provide guidance or ideas on materials that I can review to make some of these improvements? I am a retired Enterprise Sales Exec who likes to stay busy. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Dave Tahoe-Incline Rotary Club, Interact, REGL
