"The Magic of Rotary” will be Rotary International’s presidential theme in 2024-25, President-elect Stephanie Urchick has announced. In revealing the theme to incoming District Governors from around the world earlier this month, Urchick said: “Don’t misunderstand me. We are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand and saying some funny words... It’s up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member.”
This will be the last presidential theme, as Rotary International has decided to discontinue the practice after 2025. The presidential theme is created each year by the incoming Rotary president to emphasize the president's special goals for the year and is promoted with banners, lapel pins, ties and scarves bearing the graphics of the theme. The tradition of crafting a theme is credited to Percy C. Hodgson, Rotary’s president in 1949-50. His "theme" was 83 words long! In recent years, the themes have been much shorter and punchier.
