The Rotary family of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) says it is preparing to host the 2024 District 7030 Conference in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

According to a press release from Rotary District 7030, this major event on District 7030’s calendar will be held from April 18th to 20th 2024 at the Kingstown Baptist Church with a pre-conference workshop for Presidents and Secretaries-elect on the 17th.

“This Rotary year, under the leadership of District Governor Brian Glasgow, the annual District 7030 Conference will be hosted in beautiful St. Vincent and the Grenadines for the first time in the District’s history,” the press release stated.

“This Conference provides an opportunity for the
entire Rotary family to celebrate the spirit of service, diversity, and fellowship which reflect our
mission,” the press release added.

Rotary International is a global service-based
organisation which boasts over 1.4 million members in 529 districts worldwide. District 7030 is home to some of the world’s most diverse and vibrant Rotary Clubs, the press release stated.

With over 3,200 Rotarians in 75 Clubs across 17 countries and territories in the Southern Caribbean, District 7030 covers a diverse blend of cultures, according to the press release.

The rest of the press release:

District 7030 is known for its incredible diversity, and this year’s Conference will be a true
reflection of the unity that comes from embracing our differences.

Conference Chair Past President Shafia London and the entire Rotary family in St. Vincent and the Grenadines promise to ensure each participant experiences the warmth and hospitality of all our islands have to offer.

Under the theme “Sharing Hope,” the Conference will showcase the collective impact Rotarians
can make through collaboration for positive change. As part of the Conference, the District will
also host its annual Project Fair, where participating Rotary Clubs from District 7030 will pitch project ideas to potential partner Clubs from Districts in the USA and further afield. As such,
District Conference 2024 promises to be a transformative experience. The dedicated Conference team has curated an immersive cultural and historical programme that will allow Rotarians to discover the gems of the Antilles with many opportunities to create lasting memories and
connections that will extend far beyond the event itself.

This year’s Conference will also provide many opportunities for Vincentian entrepreneurs to
market and sell their products and services through participation in the “Vincy Market” – a
unique cultural oasis featuring authentically Vincentian talent and products. We welcome
partnerships from local suppliers, service providers and hoteliers as we expect to host approximately 400 Rotarians and friends of Rotary.

The programme of activities includes:

The Conference team extends an invitation to businesses, individuals and organizations
interested in being a part of this historic event to come on board as partners and sponsors. Apart
from the mileage received through this regional event, the 2024 Conference is an excellent opportunity for partners to align with an international organisation which focuses on charitable work with a goal to create hope in the world and do good right here at home and in our
neighbouring islands.
