Francesco Arezzo, a member of the Rotary Club of Ragusa, Italy, has been selected by the Board of Directors to become Rotary International’s president for 2025-26. Arezzo will become president on 1 July.
The 2025-26 presidential message, announced at the 2025 Rotary International Assembly in February, is Unite for Good, which calls on Rotary members to be a force for unity in a world increasingly divided by politics, geography, and ideology. Through service projects, Rotary brings together people of every background — across races, religions, and professions — in a shared mission to do good in their communities.
He has outlined three “essential pillars” for growth:
· innovation,
· continuity
· partnership and Impact
Innovation is how we adapt to this changing world,” he said. “One important way to do this is by embracing and promoting a variety of club models. Satellite clubs, cause-based clubs, enterprise clubs and passport clubs offer people different ways to experience Rotary”
He emphasised the importance of leadership continuity. “Clubs thrive when presidents build on their predecessors’ efforts, ensuring that programmes and strategies continue without interruption”
Rotary members collaborating with others makes it possible to change the world. He noted that Rotary’s historic effort against polio has been undertaken with partners such as the Gates Foundation, the WHO and UNICEF. Without these partners, Rotary couldn’t have had the same impact. He suggested exploring other kinds of partnerships to attract members and revitalise clubs.
“Partnering with business associations, professional organisations and academic institutions can help Rotary attract members while embracing diversity in professions and perspectives”Sat, Sep 27th 2025 10:00 am
