The Rotary Club of Accra-Legon has officially installed Rotarian Delasie Dogbey as its 12th President in a grand handover ceremony held at the Airport West Hotel. The event marked a significant milestone in the club’s leadership journey since its charter in 2013.
The vibrant and well-attended ceremony drew distinguished guests from across Rotary International’s District 9104 and beyond, including District Governor Florence Maame Hagan, Past District Governor David Osei Amankwah Jnr, Past Assistant Governor Emmanuel Quarshie, several Rotary and Rotaract leaders, as well as stakeholders from corporate Ghana, international development agencies, and the media.
Traditional leaders graced the event, including Mama Kodzo Ghansi Kodzogasi II, Nana Akosua Agyapomaa Asare I, and Naa Awo Ayele Nɔɔbaatsɛ I, highlighting the club’s strong ties with local communities and culture.
In his inaugural address, Rotarian President Dogbey outlined a bold vision anchored in Rotary International’s seven areas of focus, including peacebuilding, disease prevention, clean water and sanitation, maternal and child health, education, economic development, environmental protection, and mental health.
“This year, we must unite for good and do even more,” President Dogbey stated, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, strategic partnerships, and sustained community impact. “We are no longer a young club—we must rise to the responsibility that comes with maturity.”
Key projects for the 2025/2026 Rotary year include the completion of the ADMA Basic School Computer Lab, an initiative aimed at enhancing digital literacy for school children, together with career guidance, soft skills training, mental health awareness, education advocacy, prostate cancer screening, maternal health, and environmental sustainability efforts.

He reiterated the club’s commitment to expanding impact through teamwork with Rotaractors, Interactors, corporate partners, and international collaborators.
With his leadership, the Rotary Club of Accra-Legon embarks on a transformative journey to deepen its service and uplift communities in alignment with Rotary’s core motto: Service Above Self.
