It is a great honor to serve as the new President of the Rotary Club of Ottawa.
Since May 1st, 1916, when our club was officially chartered as Ottawa’s first service organization, generations of Rotarians have dedicated themselves to advancing the values of service, fellowship, and lasting impact. Today, as we proudly mark 109 years of continued service, we carry forward that legacy with renewed purpose and passion.
I am truly grateful for your trust and support, and I look forward to this journey ahead—guided by the enduring spirit of Rotary and inspired by each of you. I believe deeply in the power of collective impact. Rotary uniquely empowers us to bridge communities, turn compassion into action, and transform ideas into tangible results. Together, we will continue to build on the strong foundation of those who served before us. We will embrace innovation while staying rooted in Rotary’s core principles. And we will ensure that our work—both locally and globally—reflects our commitment to a more inclusive, compassionate, and hopeful future.
Let us move forward with purpose, with unity, and with the belief that the work we do today shapes the world we leave for tomorrow.
In service and gratitude,
Rady Osman, Eng., Ph.D
