Rotary: A Network of Changemakers

The Ethical Leadership Forum at The Sebastian Hotel - Vail, Colorado

"Service Above Self" isn't just a motto for Rotarians — it's a way of leading. This October, Rotary clubs from across the region come together at the Ethical Leadership Forum for a morning of fellowship, service stories, and a full day exploring what ethical leadership looks like in practice.

I. 8:00 – 9:15 AM: Ripple Effect
A Regional Rotary Breakfast Meetup, open to all

Whether you're a member of Vail Edwards Rotary or traveling in from a neighboring club, this is your chance to break bread with fellow Rotarians, swap stories and share ideas about service projects, and reconnect with the broader Rotary network.

Hear about the amazing grassroots work of Common Ground Relief in New Orleans, a Shoulder-to-Shoulder Nonprofit partner, and get a firsthand update from Dr. Karambu Ringera — former President of the Rotary Club of Meru, Kenya, and founder of International Peace Initiatives — on an ongoing water project supported by Rotary.

II. 9:30 –11:00 AM: Business Session — Employee Health as a Community Investment Produced in partnership with Vail Valley Works

A panel of local business leaders examines emerging practices for supporting employee health and strengthening the communities they serve — proof that investing in your people and investing in your community aren't separate strategies.

III. 11:00 - 1:00 PM : A Plenary Session — Keynote Lunch

The full Forum comes together for the Plenary Lunch: a panel discussion among leaders who see health care from every angle — hospital leadership, value-based care, rural medicine, and impact investing — followed by a Jeffersonian-style lunch conversation and open Q&A.
