FAYETTEVILLE, NC—Rotary District 7730 is seeking four outstanding professionals to visit India in December 2007 - January 2008 as part of the Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.

Young adults between the ages of 25 and 40 who are interested in applying should be employed full-time in a business or profession. This is an outstanding opportunity for these young professionals to share their knowledge with others in their field. They should also be able to make the 4-week commitment to participate in the program. All professions will be considered.

The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airfare and Rotary club members in the host country provide meals, lodging, and group travel in their district. Team members pay only for personal and incidental expenses.

Rotary's Group Study Exchange program allows local residents to foster international understanding by building relationships. Participants will stay in Rotarians’ homes, meet their professional peers, and experience the people and culture of India. They will also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country.

Team member applications are due June 1, 2007. Potential candidates will be interviewed at the Holiday Inn Express in Wallace in June.
