Rotary's second annual International speaker series kicked off March 14 with University of Washington professor Saadia Pekkaman engaging club members with an intriguing presentation on international alliances around security and space. On March 21, Larry Logue, District 5030 International Chair, will provide club members an overview of international project possibilities, review the range of international projects recently undertaken by District 5030, and then discuss some general grant related topics and resources available to help grant writers. On April 4, Judy Ginn, with the Seattle International Club, will discuss how she became interested in developing international projects and provide Rotarians an overview of her most current project. Then on April 18, we’ll join the Rotary Club of the Pacific Northwest Ending Sex Trafficking only on Zoom at 5:30 p.m. to hear Judy Runbeck describe her award-winning work to end international sex trafficking. Finally, on April 25, Megan Olson (our own Kristin Olson’s daughter), who is a diplomat with the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala, will talk with members about what’s it’s like working in a U.S. Embassy. Thank you to Joanne Primavera for once again organizing this speaker series. For more information on Rotary programs, visit the Speakers page.Second International Series Underway
