The New Mexico/Western Texas Rotary District is seeking four non-Rotary professionals to visit the Philippines as part of the Group Study Exchange program of the Rotary Foundation.
The exchange to the Philippines will take place from April 16 to May 16, 2010. Applications are due by Sept. 16. All applicants selected to be interviewed must be available for interviews with the selection committee Sept. 25 and 26 in Santa Fe. All costs associated with the program are covered by Rotary except for passport, travel insurance and a medical exam.
Applicants must have been in their career for at least three years; be between 25 to 40 years of age; live in the New Mexico/Western Texas area; and be in excellent health. They cannot be Rotary members or an immediate relative of a Rotary member.
Through the program, teams of young professionals from two different countries exchange visits.

Team members will be hosted in the homes of local Rotary members.
