WR: What advice would you give
to someone considering joining
Rotary for the first time?
WR: We executed a water project
in the underserved community
of Kintyre a few years ago. At a
time when hand sanitization was
gaining
traction
as
preventative measure against
some transmissible diseases,
the impact on the community
was telling. We were also
fortunate to have the District
Governor visit us for the handing
over of that project.
WR: How has your involvement in
Rotary influenced your personal
and professional life?
LD: My involvement in Rotary
has
improved
my
overall
confidence
as
well
as
my
leadership skills.
WR: What are some of the
biggest challenges the Rotary
Club of New Kingston faces in its
mission to serve the community?
LD: The emphasis on ‘self’ and not
the club is a significant challenge
in my opinion...
WR: How do you see the role of
Rotary evolving in the coming
years, especially in response to
global issues?
LD: As times change, though
processes and methods will
change. I see Rotary adapting to
change as we take on new and
emerging
crises
globally
especially with regard to our
focus on disease prevention.
Methods currently employed to
prevent diseases may have to
change in order to be effective.
WR: Can you share the
importance of the Four-Way Test
in your work with Rotary and how
it guides your decision-making?
LD: The 4 way test sets the
foundation for all that is done in
the professional as well as in the
personal space. Once adhered
to, there is a high chance of
making good decisions daily.
LD: Be prepared to be an agent of
change
not
only
to
your
immediate community but also to
the wider community.
WR: How do you think the club
should engage new and younger
members and encourage them to
take on leadership roles?
LD: In my humble opinion, I
believe that we ought to learn
their strengths, encourage their
participation, indulge them by
listening and guiding them once
they take on such roles.
WR: In your opinion, what are the
key qualities that make for a
successful Rotarian?
LD: Someone who is a good
listener, someone who takes the
opinions of all concerned into
consideration, someone who can
facilitate and maintain good team
spirit by using tactful leadership
skills. Someone who wants to
make a difference and actively
seeks ways of fulfilling this goal.
