The Amateur’s Code was originally written by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA in 1928.
One of its tenets is:

The radio amateur is balanced.Â*Radio is a hobby never interfering with
duties owed to his family, job, school or community.

As part of my duty to my community, I am a member of the Ann Arbor Rotary
Club, and Ive written about the parallels between amateur radio and Rotary
in the past. Yesterday, I used my skills as a teacher/trainer toÂ*help other
Rotarians and their clubs by being a facilitator at a Rotary Leadership
InstituteÂ*(RLI), which is aÂ*grassroots leadership development program.
Yours truly leading a discussion on creating Rotary service projects.

Being a facilitator at an RLI training session is a lot different than
teaching a one-day Tech class. They dont call us teachers or trainers
because our job isnt so much to tell the attendees what we know, but rather
to lead or guide the discusssion. We try to get the attendees to share
their experiences on a particular topic.

I led two sessions yesterday: Creating Service Projects and Attracting New
Members. If you think about it, both of these topics are relevant to
amateur radio and amateur radio clubs.
