Rotary names new top executive

Check out the Weekly Update on this Blog (scroll down on the RHS) to read about a new General Secretary of Rotary International.  Ed Futa stands down come 1 July, having done a superb job.


John Hewko is to be the global humanitarian service organization’s new top executive.

In announcing Hewko’s hiring, Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith hailed his “visionary leadership” and predicted that under Hewko’s leadership Rotary will “continue to grow in numbers, stature, and involvement in making the world a better place.” 

“Rotary is fortunate to have attracted a candidate with John Hewko’s proven ability and extensive international experience,” Klinginsmith said. “His leadership will be an important asset for Rotary in the next few years.”
