Whether a Rotaract Club is Small or large, when operating under the Rotaract brand, we will have to engage in Unity and while doing so, strive to make an impact. After-all, making a lasting impact in our communities through sustainable local and international communities service projects. The 2019/2020 hashtags serves as reminders that in Rotaract always have to be impactful, helpful and operate with unity and dignity.
Additionally, our standard hashtags that we have been using are a crucial component to our social media activities and forms apart of our social media etiquette postings for Rotaract District 7020.
The DRR is a Rotaractor elected by the Rotaract clubs in the district. A Rotaractor must complete one year as a Rotaract club president or member of the Rotaract District Committee before being eligible to serve as the District Rotaract Representative. If there is only one Rotaract club in the district, the district Rotaract representative is the most recent, available past Rotaract club president, or current president if the club is recently organized. The District Rotaract Representative is the liaison between Rotaract and Rotary clubs, the District Rotaract Committee, and Rotary International
