As RI president, Babalola wants to help restore members’ emotional connection to the organization and their sense of belonging.
“We do things for others, but Rotary is also our own,” he says. “When something is your own, you want to fight for it. ‘It is my duty to help it thrive.’ When you see how Rotary has made a lasting impact on your life, then you can tell that story.”
