Rotary One Minute:

What are the qualifications to be a member of a G.S.E. Team?

A Rotary District selects a Rotarian as team leader and then four to six men and women aged 25-40 years who are not Rotarian's but would make excellent goodwill ambassadors.  Successful G.S.E. Team Member candidates must be currently employed full-time in any recognized business or profession, be a citizen of the sponsoring district/country, as well as live in the sponsoring district/country.  Once selected, The Rotary Foundation matches that team with a district in another country and pays all the travel expenses.  For 4 - 6 weeks, the host district takes the visiting team to points of interest and arranges for them to visit schools, courts, civic leaders, businesses and Rotary Clubs.  They live in Rotarians' homes, dine together, exchange family photographs, and visit those in the same trade or profession as their own.  There are some 48,000 GSE alumni.
