Rotary District 5495 We are neighbors, community leaders and global citizens uniting for the common good and taking on some of the world's most pressing challenges.

The Principles and Ideals of District 5495

• Diversity. We embrace diversity and appreciate the various perspectives and skills that enrich us and give us strength. We seek to be inclusive in all aspects of our membership, service and leadership. Our District and Clubs value and reflect our communities in age, gender, ethnicity and profession.
• Communication. We communicate clearly, openly, fr

equently and honestly. We consider and utilize various ways to reach all Clubs and Members.
• Collaboration. We fully understand how partnering strengthens the impact of our service projects, our fundraising and our reputation, within and between Clubs and Districts, and with partners in our communities.
• Responsibility. We consider the potential effect on others before taking action. We are strengthened by active planning, both strategically and short term. Leadership at all levels is faithful in completing tasks and projects in a timely fashion.
• Ethics. We take the Four-Way Test seriously and consciously apply it to biggest of things and to smallest of things in our personal, professional and Rotary lives. We live, work, play and serve in our communities with integrity.
• Leadership Development. Creating and strengthening current and future leaders improves our impact and sustainability. We are committed to empowering youth and young professionals through our personal development programs.
• Peacemaking. Our thoughts, words and actions promote peace, good will and understanding. We remain open-minded as we practice active listening, finding value in the opinions and positions of others.
• Relationships. Strong, trusting relationships between leaders and Members anchor our Clubs and District. We spend time with other Rotarians at every opportunity by attending District training events and conferences, and visiting and supporting Clubs other than our own. This is where the magic happens. We love to celebrate the success of our Members and our Clubs.
• Generosity. We are compassionate givers. We give freely to each other, our Clubs and our community, without expectation of reciprocity. The Rotary Foundation is a charity of choice for each of us. We are eager to contribute our expertise to solving problems and filling the needs of society.
• Service. We are resourceful in finding ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. We leverage the local and global grant-making power of The Rotary Foundation.
