We kept it simple: make a bracelet, make a connection. All ages, all smiles, all in. It was one of those moments that reminds you: connection is the heart of Rotary. Because when lead with every generation, we all move forward. #Rotary25

In 2008, @RAMESHFERRIS hand cycled 7,140 km across Canada to raise awareness for polio eradication. This morning at #Rotary25, he reminded us the journey is not over. Failure is not an option. Together, we can and will @EndPolioNow.

This morning at #Rotary25, we honored @Rotary's #PeopleOfAction: Champions of Peace honorees. These leaders are turning courage into change. Peace doesn’t happen by chance. It begins with listening, grows through trust, and takes shape through action.

A muppet interrupted my keynote at #Rotary25 with questions about fun, focus, and what service really means. We shared a laugh, then turned to something deeper: how Rotary creates change that lasts. Grateful for a room full of leaders ready to act.

I didn’t expect a surprise guest during my #Rotary25 keynote, but Johnny had other plans. Take a look at the clip. You’ll see some laughs…and I hope, a reminder of the impact we can make together. More to come! #Rotary25

Geena Davis graced the #Rotary25 stage this morning with a powerful message about gender equity. She is transforming children’s media by working directly with creators to ensure young audiences see a world where boys and girls are equals from the start.

Thank you @elmo, Elmo's daddy, and Dr. Rosemarie Truglio for showing us the value of spilling milk. By modeling that it's okay to make mistakes, and how we learn from failure and mistakes, we can make children feel safe and secure ❤️
