Wellington Rotoract
Our Club welcomed Madison (Maddie) Faber, President of the Rotaract Club of Wellington back to a Karori meeting to talk about the revival and interest in Rotoract Wellington.
Maddie has been President for this past year and will continue in 2019-2020. Maddie’s parents are Rotarians in the Rotary Club of Papakura Auckland. She is buzzing with enthusiasm and has a great leadership style which is helping to attract new members to the Club. Maddie is in year four of a double degree in Law and Arts at Victoria University. She is working hard to establish working committees in Rotaract to pick up planned projects and to build closer relations with Rotary Clubs in Wellington. The Club under Maddie has already establish strong relations with the Rotary Club of Wellington and Port Nicholson Club and she is keen to work closely with Karori, to have our members attend and give advice to members and for Rotaract members to also attend Rotary meetings. The club is presently 75% female with half being students at university.
Wellington Rotoract membership has grown strongly to 40 and they have a fortnightly meeting each Monday. Meetings are for one hour with no meal. They consider themselves to be young people wanting to make a difference and want to develop their skills to achieve that. Maddie sees a logical step for members to go on and join Rotary.
