The Rotary Peace Symposium, held online over two days April 21-22, was an outstanding event, highlighting the work Rotary does globally to promote Peace and the key influence that Rotary, as an independent volunteer based global organisation, has in world forums. The final session, chaired by the ABC's Ali Moore, and featuring an outstanding panel comprising Pro. The Hon. Gareth Evans AC, Dr Emma Leslie AM, Stephen Killelea AM and Past RI President Ian Riseley OAM conducted an engaging and thought provoking discussion addressing the significant global issues threatening Peace today, but ended on an optimistic note for the future. The Rotary Peace Symposium was one of a number of special events planned throughout 2021 to mark the 100th anniversary of Rotary in Australia and New Zealand.
