Over 160 Interactors and Rotarian Advisors from across District 5430 gathered at the Liberty Station Conference Center (also meeting site of Rotary Club of San Diego to brainstorm about ways to enhance their Interact experience that involve building membership, developing leadership skills, and running efficient meetings. Throughout the day-long symposium, Interactors met in small groups to discuss challenges their clubs faced and share tips for running more effective meetings. In particular, the Interactors learned about different leadership styles and how they can best work together to capitalize on member’s strengths.
Rotary Club of Del Mar covered the registration costs for four Interactors from Cathedral Catholic: Brittany Espinosa (Joint Treasurer), Kylie Malvenda (Public Relations head), Denise Picazo (Joint Secretary) and Patrick McClean (President). I was delighted to see one of my 2017 RYLAerians at the Symposium, Anais Carrasco, who campaigned to be a district youth liaison. Thanks to Richard Arroyo (Rotary Club of Chula Vista), District Chair for Interact, for all his hard work organizing the event, and Rotary Club of La Jolla Golden Triangle member Brett Morey for sharing his pictures from the day.
