About the Rotary International District 5790 Honoring Those Who Serve Vocational Initiative.
 
Rotary Clubs throughout District 5790 are recognizing the vocations of our Communities first responders and teachers on a quarterly basis. According to District 5790 Vocational Award Recognition. Chair Eddie Salame, during each quarter of the 2017/18 Rotary year district clubs will recognize a police officer, firefighter, paramedic and a teacher. Depending on club, recognition will be done in the same month of the quarter or they can be spread out throughout the quarter. In other words, clubs can recognize a teacher the first month of the quarter, a firefighter/paramedic the second month and a police officer on the third month. Or clubs may also recognize all three professionals in the same month.
 
During the month of March 2018, all clubs will review all the recipients that were recognized by their club. One of the winners from each category is to be submitted for District wide recognition. By April 1st each club in the district will submit the name of one teacher, one firefighter/paramedic and one police officer from the club, along with the write-up  used  to select that  person.
 
The district committee will review all the candidates submitted and select one person from each category to be invited to the district conference for recognition. Clubs will be notified if a person from their club has been selected.
