Program

Co-chairs:  Leah Snell & George Falardeau

Every week, Pasadena Rotary club presents a speaker at its lunchtime meeting. The presentation starts around 1 pm, and is finished around 1:25 pm (with a little time for Q&A at the end). We have a variety of outstanding speakers on a wide range of topics of interest to both the club members and the community. If you have suggestions for speakers, please feel free to contact the Co-Chairs of the Program Committee.  Some guidelines are:
1) A Pasadena Rotarian must have heard the individual speak and she or he must have both an interesting topic (see categories below) and must be an interesting speaker (the so-called Nat Read rule, the former Rotarian who promulgated the policy);
 
2) The Rotarian can present the topic to the Program Committee (we meet the second Monday of the month via zoom at 4:00 pm);
 
3) The proposed program should fit into the categories adopted, which are:
 
·       Summer Fun (July 1 – September 15, 2021)
·       Local and/or General Interest (the best-attended meetings focus on local issues)*
·       Arts and Entertainment
·       Science, Technology and Innovation
o   Space exploration
o   Climate change (Rotary’s new program post Polio)
·       Pasadena Angels (Local VC firm)/Start-ups
·       Educational trends
·       Rotary Programs and/or Rotary Start-ups
·       Sports and Recreation
*this could be general interest
