I am thrilled to share how excited I am for you to meet Wyn Spiller. Wyn is a truly down‑to‑earth leader whose many accolades are matched by her authenticity—she is the real deal. Over the past two years, I have been privileged to learn from her as she continues to support District Governors and governor lines through engaging, two‑way Zoom conversations. Wyn genuinely wants to hear our questions and concerns, and she has earned our deep respect through her experience, wisdom, and approachability.
Wyn will arrive in Idaho Falls on Thursday, May 28, and will join us as a featured speaker at our District 5400 Conference on Friday evening. While she must depart for another commitment on Saturday, we are so grateful to have her with us, even if only for a short time.
I truly cannot say enough about Wyn and the value she brings to Rotary. I encourage you to come meet her in Idaho Falls at our District 5400 Conference, May 29–30, at the Holiday Inn. Register now and book your room—you won’t want to miss it! There will be plenty of valuable information shared, along with a healthy sprinkle of fun and fellowship.
