"The Rotary Four Way Test is the primary tool I have used when serving as a neutral mediator;
it gives hope to those who have been marginalized and it gives boundaries to those who currently have the louder voice and power.

To find the Truth we must first acknowledge the dignity in each other and invite all people to share their story, even if this process is uncomfortable or offensive.

It takes courage and unhurried time to discover the actions that will lead society to fairness, to a mutually beneficial future and to restored relationships." Rotarian S. Smith
