Leadership Development is an Important Mission of Rotary
by Phil G.Busey, Sr.
We set the bar high for leadership and leadership development at DRG, much like other top organizations. We understand the critical need to support, guide, and develop those who aspire to lead within our teams. The demands of our work and the pursuit of excellence require nothing less.
As Rotarians we have the same responsibilities. Education is a significant priority with opportunities to be readily available for all students. Our economic and societal successes depend on providing a first class education for all students regardless of economic background, race, religion, persuasion , or culture. We are all Oklahomans. We are all Americans.
This is an essential to our mission as Rotarians. An important part of our Rotarian mission statement is to:
“… provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace.
