Igniting Leadership in District 6900!

Dr. Mary C. Kelly, close personal friend and US Naval Academy classmate of DGE Steve, recently delivered an inspiring keynote on overcoming challenges that cause members to leave Rotary, emphasizing the role of leadership in creating stronger, more engaged clubs.

Why Members Leave Rotary

  • Lack of Purpose: Members fail to see the impact of their contributions.
  • Disengagement: A weak connection to Rotary’s mission reduces commitment.

Leadership Through the S.P.A.R.K. Model

Dr. Kelly introduced S.P.A.R.K. as a framework for leadership excellence:

  • S – Service: Focus on meaningful community impact.
  • P – Personal Growth: Offer opportunities for growth and development.
  • A – Assurance: Build confidence in Rotary’s direction.
  • R – Relationships: Foster belonging and camaraderie.
  • K – Knowledge: Provide engaging and insightful content.

Call to Action

Dr. Kelly urged leaders to inspire purpose, lead with positivity, and show members the value of Rotary. She challenged clubs to ignite the S.P.A.R.K., creating vibrant spaces where members thrive through service and connection.

Coming to Peachstate Pets

Dr. Kelly will share these insights at Peachstate Pets with presidents-elect from Rotary Districts 6900, 6910, and 6920. Learn more about Dr. Kelly at ProductiveLeaders.com.
