Northeast PELS March 6-8, 2025, in Framingham, Massachusetts

Essential Learning for Presidents-elect and Assistant Governors for seven Northeast Districts.

Rotary International has a new Theme, new District leaders, and new leadership every year.  Meet the leaders, discuss Rotary's Action Plan, and learn the new emphases and projects your Club will be involved in in the coming year!
 
This year’s keynote speakers will inform and reinforce our program and our conversations, inviting us all to consider concepts like “thinking out of the box,” becoming a change agent and leading your Rotary club to be more project-oriented, collaborative, and flexible. You will leave this PELS program feeling “fired up” and eager to begin the amazing year ahead as your Rotary Club’s President!
 
The seminar is centrally located just off the Mass Pike at the:
Sheraton Framingham Hotel & Conference Center
1657 Worcester Road,
Framingham, MA, 01701
 
We have negotiated a favorable conference rate at the hotel for Northeast PELS attendees. A link will be provided soon to registration.
 
Check out the hotel!

Mário César Martins de Camargo of Brazil selected to be 2025-26 Rotary International President

Mário César Martins de Camargo

Mário César Martins de Camargo, a member of the Rotary Club of Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil, is the selection of the Nominating Committee for President to become Rotary International’s president for 2025-26.

De Camargo plans to boost Rotary’s public image by working from the top down.

“Rotary today has strong competition for members and funds,” he says. “We need to rejuvenate the brand, especially in some zones. We should utilize post-pandemic meeting tools … to allow the president to address Rotarians all over the globe. We also need to develop more long-term partnerships with political, community, and business leaders. Let’s emphasize our greatest asset: 1.4 million volunteers.”

He also hopes to improve Rotary’s process for appointments and governance.

“Rotary should adopt a more transparent system to appoint volunteers for positions, with clear criteria and data-based evaluation of results,” he says.

De Camargo was president of Gráfica Bandeirantes and has been a consultant to the print industry in Brazil. He has also served as president and chair of several printing and graphics trade associations, including the Brazilian Association of Graphic Technology and ABIGRAF, the Brazilian Printing Industry Association.

He has served on the board of Casa da Esperança (House of Hope), a hospital sponsored by his Rotary club that serves 150,000 children with disabilities every year.

De Camargo studied in the U.S. and Germany and holds degrees from EAESP-Fundação Getulio Vargas in business administration and Faculdade de Direito de São Bernardo do Campo in law. He was a Youth Exchange participant to Minnesota, USA, in 1974-75, which inspired a lifelong commitment to the program.

A Rotarian since 1980, de Camargo served as his club’s Youth Exchange Officer in 1981, at age 24. He has served Rotary as director, trustee, RI learning facilitator, committee member and chair, and task force member.

De Camargo and his wife, Denise, are Major Donors and Benefactors of The Rotary Foundation.

To learn more about de Camargo, read his interview and vision statement, which outline his goals for Rotary.
