She is dedicated to the goal of worldwide polio eradication. She spends her time speaking to Rotary clubs and districts and many civic, educational and health groups regarding the importance of polio eradication and vaccination. As Jan likes to put it, she's a woman on a mission.

Doug Vincent, a Past District Governor from District 7080, believes that "It is the Rotarian who is at the top of our organization, and not the RI President. In almost all cases, major Rotary projects have started with one Rotarian in one Rotary Club," he said. "That's the Power-of-One, an opportunity each Rotarian has."
Doug will be the keynote speaker on Saturday morning, sharing his hands-on global experience on how individual Rotarians have made a positive difference in our world. He'll also relate how our Rotary-United Nations Partnership evolved and what each of us can do with our Rotary tool box to help achieve the UN Millennium Goals. |

Kenny's personal representative to the conference. He will deliver President John Kenny's message at the plenary session on Saturday morning. He will also be speaking at that Business meeting on Friday afternoon, at the opening ceremony Friday evening and at the closing ceremony on Sunday. |
