We're proud to share that Rotary member and International PolioPlus Committee Chair Michael McGovern has been selected as the next chair of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative's Polio Oversight Board (POB) starting January 1, 2026. This is the first time a Rotary representative will lead the board!
The POB provides strategic direction and unified leadership for GPEI partners working toward a polio-free world. In this role, McGovern will help coordinate global efforts and ensure progress toward ending polio for good. He will also continue to chair Rotary’s International PolioPlus Committee.
