From Houston to Taipei: Rotary Fellowship Around the World

Join us for a special program as fellow Rotarians Stan Galanski and Scott Dyson share their experiences from the 2026 Rotary International Convention in Taipei, Taiwan, one of the largest Rotary gatherings in recent years, bringing together more than 38,000 Rotary members and participants from over 140 countries.

The convention showcased the power of Rotary's global network through inspiring speakers, international fellowship, humanitarian service projects, and a celebration of cultures from around the world. Attendees heard messages of hope and action from leaders including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, explored innovative service initiatives, and experienced the vibrant spirit of Taipei.

Stan and Scott will share highlights from the convention, including memorable sessions, key takeaways, and the connections they made with Rotarians from across the globe. Beyond the convention itself, Stan will reflect on the cultural experiences that made the trip unforgettable, guided by Scott, whose unique perspective comes from his time as a Rotary Youth Exchange student in Taipei.

Whether you have attended an international convention before or have always wondered what it is like, this program will inspire you to think about the limitless possibilities of Rotary and the friendships that await beyond our local community.

Come discover how Rotary connects the world, one friendship and one service project at a time.
