RIBI Celebrates International Women's Day 2013
International Women's Day was marked Friday 08 March 2013 by Rotary International in Britain and Ireland by concurrent celebratory breakfasts in Belfast, Dublin, London, Edinburgh and Cardiff to celebrate the diversity, equality and dual gender involvement of Rotary worldwide. International Women's Day provides the opportunity to globally recognise and applaud achievements and at the breakfast the inaugural Rotary International, Northern Ireland, Woman of the Year Award was presented to Professor Dame Judith Hill.
Held at the picturesque Malone Golf Club overlooking the lake the breakfast was attended by over 100 business and professional women and men across Northern Ireland. Having enjoyed an impressive breakfast they were treated to a humorous and inspirational session of speakers.
President Alan and Fleur were joined by 5 members and partners - ADG Maurice and Hilary Brooks, Past Presidents Adrian and Margaret Kerr, Brian and Rosie Clements, President Elect (PE) Ronnie & Doreen McLean and Rtn Ronnie & Elma Porter - at the District 1160 Annual Conference held in Galway 05-07 October 2012. We were also delighted to have in attendance our new Ambassadorial Scholar Delia, from the Bahamas.
