Leadership growth doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when you step away from the day-to-day and give yourself space to think, learn, and connect. The District Conference is designed to be exactly that kind of space — practical, energizing, and immediately useful when you return to your club and community.

What You Will Take Away

Each Rotarian at DisCon 26 will have opportunities to learn, exchange ideas, and bring home fresh perspectives. These keynote speakers are just the beginning:

  • We all know how challenging it can be to herd cats on a big project. Michael Angelo Caruso will share ideas to “Get People to Get Stuff Done” at the Friday evening dinner.
  • Rotary’s commitment to ending polio extends to understanding vaccines. Dr. Pilar Bradshaw, MD will “Demystify Vaccines” at Saturday morning’s breakfast, followed by another healthy dose of insight from Frank King, the Mental Health Comedian.
  • And what would a conference in Eugene be without a University of Oregon coach? (Sorry, Beaver fans.) Our coach will talk about recruiting members and building a team that works together effectively.
  • Peace and conflict resolution begin within each of us. Al Jubitz, co-founder of the Rotary Action Group for Peace, will explore how we can move closer to the peace we seek.
  • Finally, our Zone 26/27 representative, Wyn Spiller, will share the importance of The Rotary Foundation for leveraging our resources, with ideas you can bring back to your club.

Beyond the stage, you’ll gain practical tools, fresh perspective on familiar challenges, renewed confidence, and meaningful connections.

Leadership development is one of the most lasting benefits of coming together as a district — and the insights you gain will ripple outward long after the conference ends.

PROBLEM GAMBLING AWARENESS MONTH March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) and it’s a great reminder that activities, like gambling, can become a problem and impact our communities in different ways. Gambling can be an activity that is used for recreation and fun, but gambling interacts with our brains in the same way alcohol, drugs, and other "low-effort, high-reward" activities do. Because of this, gambling can become an addiction. Problem gambling is the continuation of gambling activities despite personal, social, or financial consequences. Gambling problems are more than just a money issue. Each year problem gambling effects our communities with social impacts such as gambling-related crime which can include embezzling money or burglaries and thefts to help pay gambling debts. Aside from the financial and criminal consequences, problem gambling also negatively impacts relationships. For every one person with a gambling disorder, it is estimated that an additional eight to ten others are affected. Workplaces may see a decrease in productivity, an increase in absences, and other issues if an employee has a gambling disorder. Family and friends often feel replaced by someone’s gambling and can bear the burden of picking up additional responsibilities -both financially (like paying bills on time) and socially (such as increased responsibilities with family, pets, or homecare). Problem gambling is often referred to as the “hidden addiction” because it is easy to hide and can be difficult for others to notice, but there are some warning signs you can look for. Problem Gambling Warning Signs: • Distracted with thoughts of gambling • Spending more time and money gambling • Lying or hiding gambling activity • Risking or damaging relationships • Being irritable when not gambling • Gambling to win back losses (this is also known as chasing losses) • Exaggerating wins and minimizing losses • Borrowing money • Gambling debts • Missing work or other responsibilities If you choose to gamble, there are ways to reduce the risk of gambling becoming a problem. Setting a time limit, balancing life with other social and recreational activities, and avoiding alcohol while gambling are some of the recommended responsible gambling guidelines. You can find more responsible gambling guidelines by visiting www.opgr.org/prevention-resources/. In Oregon, FREE problem gambling treatment and support is available for someone with a gambling disorder and those that may be affected by someone’s problem gambling.
