In an unprecedented move and with great urgency, RI President Gordon McInally and RI President-elect Stephanie Urchick issued a letter-appeal to all Rotary leaders in the Philippines to end factionalism and stop political in-fighting in electing District, Regional and Zone leaders.
While noting “positive developments” such as “innovative projects” and “strong giving” to The Rotary Foundation, they deplored “the persistent infighting (that) goes against Rotary’s core values and code of conduct while damaging Rotary’s public image in the region and beyond.”
The full text of their letter-appeal appears on page 7.
