Dear Rotary Club President,
cc: District Governor and Rotary Club Secretary
Greetings from Evanston!
We are pleased to announce new hosting opportunities under the Open World Program during the 2019 calendar year. Next year will mark twentieth-year anniversary of Rotary’s participation in the program.
The Open World Program is available only to Rotary clubs in the United States, and provides an opportunity to build fellowship and friendship to strengthen international understanding by hosting emerging Eurasian leaders from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan in your community. Rotary clubs are needed to host six-participant delegations for eight days and nights and prepare a professional program related to business, community, and civic life in the United States. You can view our 2019 hosting themes here.
The program focuses primarily on developing a network of leaders who have an understanding of how American communities deal with contemporary issues and who want to maintain contact with their new American contacts and other counterparts. Often, these collaborations lead to service projects between Rotary clubs in the two countries.
Is your Rotary Club is interested in working on an international project, hosting six Open World participants (emerging and/or current Eurasian leaders) for eight days, and willing to develop an intensive week of programs based on a selected Open World theme? Review the Host Registration Form and email the completed form to OpenWorld@rotary.org by Monday, 15 October 2018.

Sincerely,
