The Rotary Clubs of Southeastern Wisconsin recently honored three exceptional individuals as the recipients of its second annual Agent of Peace Award during a ceremony on November 7th, 2024. This award reflects Rotary’s commitment to fostering peace, understanding, and collaboration within communities, resonating with Rotary International’s vision to “see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.” One of this year’s award recipients was Joan Robertson of Milwaukee who received the Decades of Peace Advocacy and Education award. At 108 years old, Joan Robertson has spent her life building a culture of peace. For over 80 years, she has been an active member of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and she served as president of Milwaukee’s chapter of the United World Federalists, now Citizens for Global Solutions. Her impact on peace education includes establishing the A.D. Robertson Fund for the United Nations with the Rotary Club of Milwaukee, which educates the community and celebrates United Nations Day. Joan also launched the United Nations School of International Learning curriculum, now part of Milwaukee Public Schools, educating thousands of students on global peace efforts. Congratulations to Joan, for this incredible achievement!
