Dr Shahul Hameed’s journey with Rotary began 30 years ago when he embarked on a path of service by joining the Rotary Club of Singapore. He served as Club President during the Rotary Year 2013-2014.

Within Rotary, he has chaired several key positions within the district. In addition, in 2017, Dr Shahul became the first Rotarian from District 3310 to be appointed as Member of the Rotary Foundation's "Cadre of Technical Advisers".
Dr Shahul's primary interest is leveraging on Rotary's Global Grants for Community Projects and Missions.
