Meet the Executive Committee for the 2024-2025 Rotaract Year!
Diya Chakravarty
President
Loves exploring random streets
Diya is a third-year computer science and mathematics student at the University of Ottawa. She first learned about Rotary through the grade-twelve scholarship program; soon after, she fell in love with the community and vision. Diya says she wants to "save the world" by intersecting humanitarianism and technology.
She loves travelling to experience diverse cultures and partake in humanitarian projects. If you give her the chance, she will read all day, dance all day, and spend the night learning anything about everything.

Loves turning insight into impact

Reid is a Software Engineer working for an Ottawa-based tech company, and has been a member of the Rotaract Club of Ottawa for six years, serving as treasurer for his fifth year. He originally moved to Ottawa in 2016 from Yellowknife, NT to study at the University of Ottawa. In Yellowknife, Reid was the vice president and president of his high school Interact club. After completing his degree he decided to stay in Ottawa after falling in love with the city. When he’s not working, he loves getting outdoors and taking advantage of what the Ottawa Valley has to offer, or if he’s feeling a little lazier, he can be found watching TV and cross stitching.
