In April 2010, the Council on Legislation (COL), by an overwhelming margin, formally approved e-clubs as a permanent part of Rotary International. In commemoration of this anniversary, RECSWUSA recently had an opportunity to speak with Maureen Ninneman, RI Deputy General Counsel and Manager of Council Services. In that capacity, Maureen also serves as Secretary to the COL. Maureen has been a member of Rotary's staff since 1995, and currently oversees both Council Services and Stewardship. Maureen became a Rotarian in 2006 and is the 2010-11 President of the Rotary Club of Chicago Lakeview.
Thanks Rick Barrett for conducting this interview. For those that don't yet know Rick, he is the Treasury Manager at RI in Evanston. He has been a card carrying member of Recswusa since 2008. We are fortunate to have Rick in our Club and to get his first-hand look at the people, places and events at the 'home office'.

Speaker: Marina Jessop,
Date: May 09, 2011
This week's program is presented by Marina Jessop. Marina was a GSE team member from D5510 to Switzerland. She made the most of that experience and is clearly making the most of her life as well. Marina returned to school for a degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Social Work, specifically to work on, in and around the field of Child Trafficking.
Her program this week will give you insight into the third largest trafficking enterprise in the world (tragically) but of equal import, how one person can dedicate their life to making a change, and do so.
Thanks Marina for all you've done, and especially for all you'll no doubt go on to do. You embody the Rotary spirit without a doubt.

"Yes, even Rotarians age and grow old in body. The trick is to stay young in
mind and spirit. What I search for, and I am only sharing all this because it
might help others who want a more exciting, fun-filled and creative life is
my bliss. It is the secret of aging young through the years."
