22.01.2022 Rotary International President Holger Knaack has a fresh vision for the Rotary of the future. Theres a German phrase: man holt die Leute ins Boot. It means getting people on board to work together toward a common goal. This year, Rotarians will find that Holger Knaack is not one to stand on the sidelines while others do the work. But equally important for Knaack is the philosophy that working hard doesnt mean you cant also have a good time. He has got people on board - especially to carry out his highest priority, investing in young people and he will be doing his best to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. When we get together, it has to be fun.
