Harris Fellow (3) & Benefactor. Doug was a member of our group of historians,
contributing to the growing resource of Rotary Global History.
Doug served as chairman
of the History section of Rotary Global History. He was also the first and only executive vice
president of the project, prior to incorporation. His efforts made much of
this archived project a much more successful effort. His voluminous
knowledge of Rotary's history and relentless effort for style and
substance made an immeasurable difference. His work is ever present in
the pages of this archive.
"The vibrancy and viability of Rotary as the most important
service club in the history of the world will not depend on membership
numbers and mentions in news media. Rather, adherence to its core values
will restore Rotary's standing in the affairs of mankind, and the numbers
and mentions will occur naturally. There is an old saying, 'If you build a
better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door.' Rotary IS a
better mousetrap. It's time that we started treating it that way."
Doug Rudman
