 FAMILY OF ROTARY

				 |  | President's MessageLeading The Way To End Human Trafficking
To me, leadership is relentlessly pursuing your goals and inspiring others to have your back along the way. In our club, this manifests itself on a regular basis in Dave McCleary. You can't help but be inspired by the passion that Dave puts into the fight to end modern slavery. You may or may not like the current administration, but it is impressive to see him recognized by the White House as a world leader on this issue and invited to be there in person for the announcement of additional funding.
