TODAY'S MEETING
Feb 20, 2024 12:00 PM
Rotary District 5680
THE ROTARY WATER PROJECT
In 2009, Isaac began engaging hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the U.S. in meal packing events to package more than 50 million meals for food insecure people both here in America and various developing countries. During the response to the Haiti earthquake in 2010, he coordinated a six-month effort to engage more than 120,000 volunteers across America to package more than 20 million meals for disaster relief. During the pandemic of 2020, he coordinated the packaging of more than 10 million meals in Kansas for a nation-wide response.
 
Isaac is the VP of International Development for The Outreach Program, an international non-profit with a mission to provide a future for the world’s most vulnerable children through safe water, food, medical care and education. His area of expertise is in the creation and installation of solar-powered water purification systems and frequently travels to Tanzania, East Africa where Outreach has been creating social impact through those four areas since 2004.
 
Isaac is an Assistant Governor for Rotary District 5680 and Past President for the Rotary Club of El Dorado. He is the Chair for the District 5680 End Polio Now Committee, volunteers for the district Public Image Committee, received the “Rotarian of the Year” award for District 5680 for 2021-22, and is the District Governor Nominee Designee.
