Happy New Year Rotarians of District 7910!!
I hope you enjoyed a meaningful and joyful holiday season, surrounded by those who matter most. As we step confidently into the New Year, we do so with renewed purpose, fresh momentum, and an unwavering commitment to Service Above Self.
January invites us to embrace Rotary’s Vocational Service Month—a powerful reminder that our professions are not just what we do, but one of the greatest ways we serve.
Each day, Rotarians across District 7910 demonstrate integrity, leadership, and service through their work, their mentorship, and their example. Whether in boardrooms, classrooms, shops, hospitals, or community spaces, you are showing the world what ethical leadership truly looks like. Thank you for turning your vocations into vehicles for impact.
I am deeply grateful for your continued dedication to Rotary and to our district. Your passion fuels our clubs, strengthens our communities, and advances Rotary’s mission locally and globally. Because of you, District 7910 continues to lead with heart, vision, and purpose.
As we prepare for the year ahead, I ask for your help in shaping our future leaders. Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) registration closes in just 10 days. RLI is a transformational experience for Rotarians at every stage, offering leadership development, Rotary knowledge, and district-wide connections that last a lifetime. If you’ve been considering it, now is the time—don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Registration Link: https://www.ismyrotaryclub.org/wp_api_1-2/R_Event.cfm?EventID=77861836
(IMPORTANT: Once you have clicked the above link you will be on the registration page and you have 2 options at the bottom of the page:
1) If you have not attended RLI before or forget your RLI Login then you will need to register as a guest.
2) If you have previously attended RLI then register as a RLI Member.)
Time is also running short for another exceptional opportunity — Northeast Presidents-Elect Learning Seminar (NEPELS) 2026! Please ensure your Club Presidents-Elect are identified and registered for NEPELS. This vital training equips our incoming presidents with the tools, confidence, and connections they need to lead successful and impactful clubs. Register here: https://nepels.regfox.com/nepels2026
Together, let us make this New Year one of bold leadership, meaningful service, and continued growth. I look forward to all that we will accomplish—side by side—as Rotarians committed to making a difference.
With gratitude, optimism, and Rotary pride,
Johnny Ahern
District Governor 25-26
