He was an RI Training Leader and the Aide to 2015- 16 RI President K.R. Ravindran. Barry received Rotary's highest honor, the Service Above Self Award, as well as other humanitarian awards for his work leading Rotary’s relief efforts in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake there. He and his wife, Esther, are Major Donors and Benefactors of The Rotary Foundation. He earned an MBA in health and hospital administration from the University of Florida and is the first Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives in the Bahamas.

He is a lifetime member of the American Hospital Association and has served on several boards, including the Quality Council of the Bahamas, Health Education Council, and Employer’s Confederation. As President, Barry aims to strengthen our public image and our use of digital tools to maximize Rotary’s reach. “Those who know what good Rotary Clubs do will want to be a part of it, and we must find new models for membership that allow all interested in our mission to participate,” he says. “With Rotary more in the public eye, we will attract more individuals who want to be part of and support a membership organization that accomplishes so much good around the world.” Version 3 1 Amendments Highlighted in Yellow District Governor 2018-2019 Casper & Wilna Kruger with RI President Barry & Esther Rassin Casper was born in Oranjemund, Luderitz District, Namibia when Namibia was still part of South Africa so he is both Namibian and South African.

ROTARY: THE WORLD’S PREMIER INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN SERVICE ORGANIZATION Version 3 2 Amendments Highlighted in Yellow A message from Governor Casper Dear D9350 Rotarians Wow – how the years have flown, from being elected as DGND in April 2016 to where we are today; one moment you are still learning, then suddenly your year starts. I pray I am prepared well enough to lead this wonderful District in the Rotary year 2018/19. Over the last year PDG Lynette Stassen and her Team have done a wonderful job and they have really lived the 2017/18 presidential theme of “ making a difference ”. Our District has grown in numbers, we have two new clubs and we are on a great road forward. Let us not lose this focus or drive by taking our foot of the pedal – let us continue to “be the inspiration ” for those who follow. This continued growth will also help us achieve the one goal set by the late Sam Owori, who was going to be our 2018/19 RI President from Africa, to have one Zone in Africa with 35000 Rotarians. RI President Barry Rassin is truly living up to his theme to be the inspiration by stepping up to the plate when the call came late in August 2017, following the tragic passing of then RIPE Sam Owori in July, to lead RI in 2018/19. He is leading the way, let us follow his example. D9350 is a diverse district – we cover a large area – spanning 3 countries. We speak different languages, have different backgrounds, different traditions and religions, yet we are united in our efforts to do good in this world, we have one goal – “Service Above Self – and is based on the simple, practical, ethical principle that He Profits Most Who Serves Best.”* The future of Rotary is on our hands – RIP Barry has asked all Districts to embrace the Youth and we will oblige by reaching out to our Rotaract friends in ways that add meaning and substance to both Rotaract and Rotary. This year I have included visiting Rotaract Clubs in my itinerary, the District Rotaract Representative (DRR) Dennis Makofi from Windhoek Rotaract Club is part of the 2018/19 District Leadership Team (DLT) and we have tried to included Rotaractors on committees in every pillar of our DLT. We need the Youth as much as they need us – so let’s be the inspiration to each other and let’s grow together. As per RIP Barry’s goal, we will strengthen our public image and use of digital tools, continuing on the foundations of the past, with exciting tools and support for clubs and members. Watch this space…. I look forward to a year of interaction with Members and Clubs, listening to them, learning from them, and with the DLT, being of service to them.
