DG Ron Payne 

Ron has been a member of the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk for seventeen years, having twice served as President and filling most Board positions in that time. His District leadership journey started with the role of Assistant Governor and has included duties on various committees as well as mentoring the AG team.

A strong commitment to ensuring the District Team provides direct support and guidance to clubs and club officers is a key priority for Ron. Promotion of the excellent work undertaken across the District clubs through focused Public Image strategies will also be pursued.

Communication is also of paramount importance and the coming work on the Regionalisation Pilot will require clear and supportive interactions between the District Team and clubs if effective change is to be achieved.

Ron enjoyed a 47-year career with the Department of Education that saw him involved in teaching, principalship and senior management roles within communities across western and central Victoria. Ron and Deb have two adult daughters and six grandchildren who they enjoy sharing some of their time with.  

 

Rotarians worldwide are inspired by the Rotary theme of “Service Above Self” and are guided by reference to ‘The Four-Way Test’. In particular, ‘The Four-Way Test’ challenges Rotarians, in everything they do, to ask of themselves:

“Of the things we think say or do:

  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
