Hello, Fellow Rotarians and friends of District 9810,

The Conference 2023 District 9810 Canberra has the potential to bring together over 1,100 members and friends from the district in Victoria.  We are planning what will be a spectacular, highly visible, and engaging event

 

The conference will be held over two days 4th and 5th March 2023 and a Sports/Tour Day 3rd March 2023.

The conference theme is 'Diversity'  We understand that cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is essential to realising our vision of a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change. 

We value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, colour, disability, learning style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status, languages spoken, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity as well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs.
