In 2023, Brenda Pollock’s Rotary Club of Biddeford-Saco, Maine, USA, was selected to host a delegation from Ukraine through the Open World program. For Rotary and Rotaract members seeking international service opportunities, the program allows clubs to host and curate multi-day visits for emerging Eurasian leaders to gain insight into the workings of local government, business, and community dynamics in the United States while fostering mutual understanding. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Rotary’s participation in the Open World Program offered by the Congressional Office for International Leadership. Read more about this exciting experience in Pollock’s blog post for Rotary Service in Action.
