WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

Founding Ascension

Have you ever had that moment where you feel empowered because you are part of something larger than yourself? We had that moment as Rotaractors. We were proud to be part of an organization that can make global, sustainable change. It's this joy and fulfillment that prompted us to look beyond ourselves and ask the tough question. "Why are there not more Rotaractors having this moment of connection?" As we explored answers to this question, one common theme surfaced- we both have had incredible Rotary mentors. We have experienced professionals who invested in us personally as professionals, philanthropists, and most importantly, as human beings. As a result, we came to think of Rotary and Rotaract as a family, an extended network of friends believing in and cheering for us in every aspect of life. These relationships had a profound impact on us, and we wanted to create an environment in order to share and create these same opportunities with other Rotaractors. We hope that this environment of mentorship, connection, and education can foster opportunities so that ordinary human beings like us could have their moment of empowerment. It is through these moments of individual change and growth that true progress, partnership, and creativity flourish for the good of Rotaract and the good of Rotary as a whole. From these ideals, Ascension Rotaract Network MDIO was born.
