As part of Rotary’s ongoing commitment to adaptability and increasing our impact, the annual presidential theme is evolving into a strategic presidential message tied directly to our Action Plan. This change will take effect 1 July 2025. The RI president will still promote an annual message.
What will be different:
A presidential message aligned with the Action Plan
New approval process with a broader group of stakeholders, led by the Executive Committee of the Board
No separate presidential logo
Message of future president-nominees previously determined by the Board
What will stay the same:
The big annual reveal at the International Assembly by the president-elect
Presidential materials: year colors, scarves, ties, and more
The president’s inspirational message for Rotary members each year
The Board of Directors unanimously approved three years’ worth of messaging at their May 2024 meeting. President-elect Mário César Martins de Camargo will unveil the first of these messages at the 2025 International Assembly. If you have any questions, please write to ri.comms@rotary.org.
