SUMMARY OF TALK
We were honored that our speaker, Hoagie, came here from his home in Swarthmore, PA. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Ardmore, PA and a past district governor. This year is the 107th anniversary of Rotary International. Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and the successful resolution of conflict throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service activities. Fellows can earn either a master's degree in international relations, public administration, sustainable development, peace studies, conflict resolution, or a related field, or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict resolution. Since 1947 a total of $532 million has been awarded to 41,000 men and women. Through their generous contributions, Rotarians worldwide show a continued faith that today's scholars will be tomorrow's community and world leaders.
