Gene Howell, the fifth person to lead an organization over a hundred years old, recently addressed the Riverbend Rotarians, sharing his experiences and the mission of his organization. The organization, which started as a home-based program, has expanded over the years to include counseling services, clinic services, and programs for seniors and children. Watch presentation...

Howell's leadership is marked by a deep sense of responsibility and a commitment to not "screw it up." He believes that each generation has its own challenges, but the current focus is on securing adequate funding to deliver high-quality services, particularly for early childhood or preschool services.

Howell's organization is dedicated to empowering children and families to develop positive skills to meet life's challenges. They take a trauma-informed, compassionate approach, building relationships with families and individuals without judgment. The organization believes that everyone is capable of positive change, and that strengthening families is the foundation for a child's future.

Howell shared stories of his personal experiences in the field, including his encounters with families in high-risk communities. Despite the challenges and dangers, Howell and his team remain committed to their mission, visiting these neighborhoods and providing much-needed support.

One of the key services the organization provides is dental services for children and pregnant mothers. They understand the impact of dental health on overall health and work to disrupt generational health issues. The organization also ensures that children under their care have physical check-ups, immunizations, and vision and hearing screenings.

Howell's address to the Riverbend Rotarians was a testament to his dedication and the critical work his organization is doing in the community. His stories highlighted the importance of understanding and addressing the root causes of issues faced by families in need. Howell's leadership and the work of his organization are indeed making a significant difference in many lives.

Craft Your Perfect Presentation with

Our New Riverbend Rotary
Speakers' Template!

Speaking to a Rotary Club audience can be an exciting, but sometimes daunting, opportunity.

We've created a template to help guide you in crafting a presentation that not only informs but also entertains and inspires.

Using this tool, you'll be able to articulate your passions, highlight the importance of your cause, and engage your audience in meaningful ways.

As an example, we've used a humorous, imaginative topic: "The Society for the Protection and Advancement of Invisible Unicorns (SPA-IU)".

This fictitious charity serves as an illustrative guide for how you might structure your own presentation, providing a clear and engaging path from introduction to conclusion.

This template, along with Toastmasters best practices, will assist you in building a compelling narrative, connecting with your audience, and delivering a powerful call to action.

Remember, the key to a successful presentation is authenticity, preparation, and a deep understanding of your topic.

Now, it's your turn to bring your passions to the stage. Whether you're

advocating for invisible unicorns, local community initiatives, or global change, we're excited to hear your story and learn from your journey.

Together, we'll continue the Rotary Club tradition of learning, sharing, and inspiring action in our community.
