In addition to providing guidance to club leaders, AGs play a key role in organizing and promoting Rotary events and initiatives. They work closely with district committees to plan and execute district-wide projects, such as fundraising events, service projects, and leadership training sessions. AGs also work with club leaders to ensure that members are aware of and participate in Rotary’s various programs and opportunities.
