Each year, Rotary recognizes six individuals as Rotary People of Action. Honorees and their projects often best exemplify what it means to be one of Rotary’s #PeopleOfAction through their volunteer activities. Learn more about Rotary's 2022-23 People of Action: Champions of Inclusion at https://rotary.org/inclusion. In 2021, Rotary honored six members as People of Action: Champions of Health on World Health Day, 7 April, in recognition of their work to improve the foundation of good health at home and across the globe. This work proved especially important and challenging due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
