On April 28th, 2023, a Rotary Club of Richmond delegation attended the District 5040 Conference!
This year's District Conference was hosted right here in Vancouver.
This year's theme was Connecting Clubs with Communities. In other words, how do we celebrate the connections between our club's and the communities they serve?
Rotary is all about the communities we serve, and the goal of the conference was to learn how to improve on the great work our club's are already doing in terms of fundraising, volunteering, and growing our membership!

There was innovative content, fun and entertainment right at Vancouver's Pinnacle Hotel.
And most importantly - the awards!
Every year, District 5040 recognizes clubs and individuals who have made great contributions to their community and the world through Rotary. Rotarians could nominate an outstanding Rotarian or Rotary Club that deserves recognition.
The District presents several types of awards including Club of the Year, Rotarian of the Year, Community Service Awards, and many more.
This year, we are very proud to announce that Jacqueline Ho was awarded the Don Evans People of Action Award!
The Don Evans People of Action Awards is presented to Rotarians in District 5040 who take action to create lasting change in their communities and the world. The nominee must have demonstrated an extra ordinary level of service, with an emphasis on personal leadership and active involvement, that resulted in specific action being taken that helped others through Rotary.
Congratulations Jacqueline!
And here is some of our Awards history...
Our very own Dean Hsieh was 2019 Rotarian of the Year for District 5040!

And two years ago, the Rotary Club of Richmond received the Citation Award. The Rotary Citation is the most significant award a Rotary club can achieve. A club earns a Rotary Citation for achieving goals that strengthen Rotary and it's club including membership, developing projects, and donations to Rotary Foundation.
This year, the Rotary Club of Powell River was named District 5040 Outstanding Rotary Club of the Year. Congratulations!
