Made it in the corporate world and want to give back? The volunteer sector is a totally different animal

    MY VOLUNTEERISM journey started more than two decades ago. I was introduced to the Rotary movement around the time I launched my business.

    People cautioned me about my timing – they said I would be busy with my business and would not be able to participate actively with Rotary.

    On reflection today, joining Rotary and starting out on my entrepreneurship journey turned out to be two of my life’s better decisions. I did not have to struggle between managing my business and community work.
