At a time when government, businesses and nonprofit organizations look to contribute to the dismantling of systemic barriers, Mojdeh brings forward expertise in labour relations, human rights, and equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging. For over a decade, she has coached organizational and community leaders, businesses and not-for-profit organizations on re-imagining their work through a heightened equity lens rooted in social justice.

--MEET OUR NEW DISTRICT GOVERNOR--
District Governor Erin’s Messageimage
 
Happy New Rotary Year!  
If we haven’t met in person (or via Zoom) yet, here are three things you should know about me:
  1. I have a four-year-old daughter, Emerson.
  2. I am married to Dan.
  3. I have the wildest career path (feel free to ask about it!), but everything I’ve done has been centered around creating change.
...and #3 is really great because our theme this year is “Serve to Change Lives”!
 
 
As we start this new Rotary year, take a look at your clubs, your communities, and the world.  Consider how we can remove barriers to allow current and future Rotarians the opportunity to serve to change lives. 
imageThere are a lot of exciting things planned for this year!     I look forward to connecting with each of you and learning about all of the amazing contributions our Rotarians make. I am extremely honored to serve as your District Governor for 2021-2022.  I sincerely appreciate all of your support and enthusiasm as we look forward to a great year!
 Sincerely,
Erin Shankie
District Governor
District 6330
