Partner Day
Thursday. June 27, 2024
We warmly invite all Rotarians, sponsors and partners to join us for our second annual World Affairs Seminar Partner Day! Set for Thursday, June 27 at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin, WAS Partner Day will showcase the work of our amazing student delegates, centered on our theme, Democracy and Governance: Evolving Global Perspectives. We will be joined by a very special guest, Rotary International President-elect Stephanie A. Urchick. Partner Day builds on our annual tradition to convene WAS supporters for a luncheon meeting on the last full day of the Seminar. You are welcome to attend any or all of the day’s events, as your schedule allows. All are welcome: past, present and prospective partners alike! Our “big tent” also includes Kiwanis, Optimists, Lions and Women’s Club members, school districts, etc. Please join us for a day to remember. And as always, thank you for your partnership and consideration!
