The 2020 Virtual Summit is what we used to call our “Zone Institute”. It is designed to let Rotarians share information, build connections, and exchange ideas about Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.

Our 2020 Virtual Summit will start at 8:00 a.m. (Central Standard Time) on Saturday, October 10 th and will wrap up at 3:30 p.m. when the last breakout sessions conclude. The entire event is online, so you’ll incur no travel, lodging, or food costs.

In the morning, we’ll get updates on our final push to end Polio, timely thoughts on diversity, an energetic pitch on “Do Goodery”, and learn how to be better leaders in times of crisis and disaster. For first-timers, there will be quick overviews of Rotary’s Membership, Public Image, and Rotary Foundation initiatives.

Afternoon breakouts will engage you with in-depth discussions about our new Area of Focus, Supporting the Environment, Grant ideas for your club or district, engaging younger members, continuity in planning from year-to-year, public speaking, and more.

There is no registration fee, so be sure to invite others in our club and district to join you in attending. If you can do so safely, you and others may want to get together in one place to watch on a big-screen TV, where you can also enjoy each other’s company. We look forward to seeing you virtually on October 10, 2020.

 My work, my relationships, my beliefs, my goals and my dreams all stem from a desire to do   things that matter.

 That’s why I started Benali.

 At Benali, we educate, equip, and empower businesses so they can do the same for their   customers.

 I believe we bring value that matters to businesses and helps them grow. More than revenue   growth. Growth as a team, as individuals, as leaders, and as helpers. Growth in confidence, in   organization, and in clarity. Growth that is both tangible and intangible.

 But there are many other things I believe that matter.

I believe in a flexible work schedule and the freedom to work in a way that suits us best. That’s why all of our employees at Benali are remote. So we can work our best, but also be our best. The best employee/spouse/parent/child/friend/individual we can be.

I believe in doing and sharing what you love and what you are passionate about. That’s why every Spring I adjust my work schedule to coach soccer for the Norman North High School Men’s Soccer team. It’s an opportunity for me to leave an impact on players the same way that the coaches, parents, and community in Norman, OK left an impact on me.

I believe in giving others opportunities and teaching them how to believe in themselves. That’s why I make time to mentor others and provide internships for students at Benali. Anyone that is willing to do the work with a desire to learn should never be denied an opportunity.

I believe the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risks at all. That’s why I’m constantly trying to push myself and my team outside of our comfort zones. It’s what allows us to be challenged in our work and learn new things each and every week.

My dream is to help others do things that matter by educating, equipping, and empowering them.

I hope that you’re doing things that matter.
I hope that you live what you believe.
I hope that you’re pursuing your dreams.

If you ever want to talk about things that matter, your beliefs, or your dreams, I love to have those conversations.

Connect with me and let’s talk.

This fun-filled evening of music and laughter will be held at the Yellow Rose Theater on Thursday, February 25, 2016 from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. featuring a variety show with songs that span the decades. In addition to wonderful entertainment there will be a live auction and chances to win rockin’ prizes. Proceeds from the night’s event will benefit the projects of the Moore Rotary Club’s Education Services Committee.

Time to Celebrate!

As the 111th Anniversary of Rotary  on 23 February approaches, I hope you will take the opportunity to spend the evening with some of your Rotary friends, men and women, to talk about Rotary, particularly the Foundation as it prepares for its centennial year in 2016-17.
