Holistic WASH:
Transforming a Generation
Join us in Denver on March 19, 2016 to explore and implement Rotary District 5450/5440/9212s new Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) strategy as developed by the 2014 Vocational Training Team (VTT) from those Districts. Building on Rotary International’s new global call for better WASH in Schools, the strategy emphasizes youth involvement and entrepreneurship as vehicles for real, lasting change. Symposium participants will help tailor guidelines, tools, and techniques to better equip Rotarians to expand successful programs worldwide.

Because the registration site is managed by D5450, all 5440 Rotarians must skip the ClubRunner log-in feature and go directly to the Your Information section of the Registration Page. Also D5440 Rotarians should skip the club name question on the first registration page as you'll have an opportunity to enter your club name on the third page of registration.
