Description	The Rotary International Board of Directors has changed the tentative site of the 2009 RI Convention from Seoul to Birmingham, England. The event was provisionally scheduled in Seoul for 21-24 June 2009. The change was necessary because some segments of the planning for the convention were behind schedule. These delays and other associated issues hindered the ability of local Rotary clubs to organize and host such a large-scale, international meeting. Rotary International's annual convention is a worldwide gathering of Rotary members who participate in a broad agenda of plenary sessions and workshops focused on how Rotary clubs help to make the world a better place through volunteer service. The decision was taken at the conclusion of the 2007 Rotary convention in Salt Lake City, USA, attended by nearly 17,000 Rotary members.
