We are delighted to announce that Dr. Michael Dixon, the esteemed President and CEO of UNeMed Corporation, will be gracing our upcoming Rotary meeting with his insightful presentation on the transformative Catalyst Building project. The Catalyst Building, a groundbreaking venture, is poised to unite UNMC's UNeMed and UNeTech branches, fostering an environment that encourages collaborative research and innovation. Dr. Dixon's talk will delve into the crucial role the Catalyst Building plays in facilitating robust partnerships between entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers, thereby fueling the growth of technology startups in the dynamic biotech and technology sectors.
Dr. Dixon's illustrious career journey began at UNMC's Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases, where his contributions to scientific research were highly regarded. Transitioning from the laboratory to the realm of commercialization, Dr. Dixon played a pivotal role in the successful merger of the UNMC Intellectual Property Office and UNeMed. This merger marked a significant milestone, leading to a remarkable surge in technological advancements and strategic commercial partnerships. Additionally, Dr. Dixon's active involvement in prestigious organizations such as the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) and the Licensing Executives Society (LES) reflects his unwavering dedication to advancing technology and fostering business development.

The Suburban Rotary is one of the few clubs that received the prestigious Rotary International Citation for Rotary Year 2022-2023 under the leadership of President Kevin Welsh. The award was presented at the recently concluded Rotary District 5650 Conference. As a club we exceeded RI's expectations in areas of Developing and implementing sustainable service projects, Giving to The Rotary Foundation, and Building awareness of Rotary in the community. Congratulations, Rotarians! You made it happen.
For the 15th consecutive year, The Rotary Foundation has received the highest rating – four stars – from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of charities in the U.S.
The Foundation earned recognition for adhering to sector best practices and executing its mission in a financially efficient way, demonstrating both strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.
In June 1999, a year after I joined the staff of Rotary International, I attended my first convention. It was then that I first witnessed the global power of Rotary and made my first batch of Rotary friends. And it was then that I was introduced to Singapore for a second time.
Mário César Martins de Camargo, a member of the Rotary Club of Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil, is the selection of the Nominating Committee for President to become Rotary International’s president for 2025-26. He will officially become the nominee on 15 September if no other candidates challenge him.
De Camargo plans to boost Rotary’s public image by working from the top down.
“Rotary today has strong competition for members and funds,” he says. “We need to rejuvenate the brand, especially in some zones. We should utilize post-pandemic meeting tools … to allow the president to address Rotarians all over the globe. We also need to develop more long-term partnerships with political, community, and business leaders. Let’s emphasize our greatest asset: 1.4 million volunteers.”
