The Georgia Rotary Student Program is proud to announce the inaugural Lynn Clarke GRSP Women in Leadership Award. The first recipient is GRSP student Atche Bilyal, who received her award from District 6910 GRSP District Chair James McCoy at the April 22 meeting of the Rotary Club of Hall County, one of Atche’s three sponsoring clubs - Hall County, Gainesville and white County. Atche is a student at Brenau University.She received this honor for “advancing World Peace through Understanding, exhibiting extraordinary leadership and serving as an international ambassador for Bulgaria and GRSP.

Atche’s many Service Above Self accomplishments led to her selection as the first recipient of this awar

  • Atche founded the only international Rotaract Club in the 1610 District, Rotaract Club of Tilburg International, with the support of Rotary District 1610 Zuid-West of Netherlands, which turned out to be a great success
  • She helped organize area Rotarians here and participated in the Women Builld 2025 with Habitat for Humanity
  • She showed an immediate desire to connect and assist family businesses in North Georgia, winning Brenau’s Annual Speech Competition followed by her research and journey presented at the National Conference on Undergraduate REsearch in Pittsburgh this April

We were impressed by Atche’s desire to learn network and experience American culture from Rotarians and her fellow GRSP classmates. In addition to this award, Atche was honored as a Top 5 Finalist for the International Youthg Representative for the Europe, Mediterranean and Arab States Region for the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation.
