Ravindran is choice for 2015-

16 RI presidentK.R. Ravi

Ravindran, a

member of the

Rotary Club of

Colombo,

Western

Province, Sri

Lanka, has beenselected by the

Nominating

Committee for President of RI in 2015-

16. Ravindran will become the

president-nominee on 1 October if

here are no challenging candidates.

Ravindran said his top priority for

Rotary will be to increase membership,

which he called the bedrock of any

organization.

The emphasis on membership has tocontinue with focus on the younger

generation, Ravindran said.

Additionally, we must seek to attract

the just retired and experienced people

into Rotary.

Creating regional membership plans

and realizing that one size does not fit

all has been a move in the right

direction, he said.

Albert Einstein defined insanity as

doing the same thing over and over

again and expecting different results.

In many ways this has been the story of

Rotarys poor membership advance,he said. Thankfully, our approach this

time has been studied and altered. We

have created 22 different membership

regions so that each region would

develop and execute a plan that would

suit that particular region.

Ravindran said its important for

Rotarians to share their stories,

especially through social media, so

others can see the impact Rotary has

had in their lives. He said its alsoimportant for the organization to speak

with a consistent voice. Our identity

must remain simple and be based on

our core values. It must be clear and

straightforward to both our internal

and external audience.

Ravindran holds a degree in commerce

and is founder and CEO of Printcare

PLC, a publicly listed company and

global leader in the tea packaging

industry. He also serves on the board ofseveral other companies and charitable

trusts. He is the founding president of

the Sri Lanka Anti Narcotics Association,

the largest antinarcotics organization in

Sri Lanka.

As his countrys PolioPlus chair,

Ravindran headed a task force with

members from the government,

UNICEF, and Rotary and worked closely

with UNICEF to negotiate a cease-fire

with northern militants during NationalImmunization Days.

A Rotarian since 1974, Ravindran has

served Rotary as a director and

treasurer of RI and as a trustee of The

Rotary Foundation. He has also served

as an International Assembly group

discussion leader, district governor,

Council on Legislation representative,

and zone institute chair. He chaired the

Schools Reawakening project,

sponsored by Rotary clubs and districtsin Sri Lanka, which rebuilt 25 tsunami-

devastated schools, benefiting 15,000

children.

Ravindran has been awarded The

Rotary Foundations Citation for

Meritorious Service and Distinguished

Service Award and the Service Award

for a Polio-Free World.

He and his wife, Vanathy, have two

children, and are level 4 Major Donors
