Bob Scott served as IPPC Chair from July 2006 to June 2014 and his role as a fulltime supporter of Rotary’s battle against polio is well known world over.

At the dinner, all the prominent speakers gave their heartfelt thanks to him for leading the polio eradication drive for eight years. Overwhelmed by all the praise showered on him, Scott said that the real congratulations should go to the Rotarians around the world who had worked hard on this initiative. He expressed the confidence that with their commitment and hard work Rotarians would ensure that polio was eradicated from the world very soon.
