Rotary Club of Milwaukee

Excited to get this off and running with my colleague, Tom Luljak. No better a person to start with than Saj Thachenkary. Look for lots of interesting chats with Rotary Club of Milwaukee leaders in the future.

ICYMI: Last week we unveiled CONNECTIONS, our club’s new podcast which will feature members of the Rotary Club of Milwaukee sharing their personal stories of how they connect with other Rotarians, build meaningful relationships, and work together to make Milwaukee a stronger community. CONNECTIONS is hosted by Rotarian and Retired Vice Chancellor of UWM, Tom Luljak, who has a rich broadcast history in Milwaukee as a host and interviewer. In this first episode, Tom sits down with the current 2024-25 Club President and Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement at Milwaukee School of Engineering, Saj Thachenkary.

Thank you to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley for speaking at the joint lunch meeting with Rotary Club of Milwaukee and MILWAUKEE PRESS CLUB! "The outlook has dramatically improved for Milwaukee County," Crowley said. "Fiscal challenges remain, but we have made great strides as far as where we are today." "Collaborations and partnerships, they can lead to meaningful success...While there are a lot of unknowns and for some there may be frankly some concerns as it relates to how we move forward," Crowley continued, "I truly believe that as long as we continue to work on these relationships, we'll be able to make the investments that we need to make." "I want you to know that I am committed to working with the government, working with the legislature, working with the incoming Trump administration to deliver on behalf of Milwaukee County residents," he said. #Milwaukee #MilwaukeeCounty #Wisconsin #Community

President Saj reminded us of a simple yet profound truth: Rotary Club of Milwaukee connections are about so much more than networking. They’re about trust, shared values, and creating lasting relationships that inspire action and change. Through Rotary International, we meet people who challenge us to think bigger, collaborate smarter, and serve our communities with deeper purpose. These connections become the foundation for initiatives that leave a meaningful impact on the world around us. Thank you, Saj, for leading with vision and showing us how connection is the heart of Rotary. #RotaryInternational #Leadership #BuildingTrust #ServiceAboveSelf
