Stories from Throughout the District
January is Vocational Services Month
How District 5790 encourages recognition of Vocations
Vocational Service focuses on:
  1. Adherence to and promotion of the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including fair treatment of employers, employees, associates, competitors, and the public.
  2. The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, not just those that are pursued by Rotarians.
  3. The contribution of your vocational talents to solving the problems of society and meeting the needs of the community.
 
As a district, we promote 3 district wide activities that highlight these three tenants. District Vocational Committee Chair Chuck Chambers guides the district efforts.
