The most effective professionals have a high degree of what has come to be known as emotional intelligence.  The qualities that make up emotional intelligence – self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill – enable the most successful professionals to raise their own and others’ performance to a higher level. 

 

The Rotary Club of Edina recently presented two $1,500 scholarships to deserving students at Edina High School.

This year’s scholarships were presented to Divya Danthuluri and Allison Koester.

Back to the hybrid version of your choice to attend club meeting via IN-PERSON or ZOOM platforms. The continued excellent editing talents of C-Vision Productions (Chris Laskowski) is allowing us to make better use of the taped and edited meetings posted weekly to You Tube and use them as our new "In Review" format. This will eliminate the duty of "The Barker" note taker/writer and we will, for the time being, no longer publish written reviews. In-person meeting photos will resume. Keep in mind watching the You Tube video counts as a make-up. Let Becci know what meeting dates you watched and she will mark you as attended.

 

We will post the link to the last meeting video taped (see above) and photos from the meeting.
