Rotary Leadership Round-Up: A look at the new leadership for community Rotary Clubs

The first Rotary Club was launched on Feb. 23, 1905 by Chicago attorney Paul Harris as a club where “professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.” Since then, it evolved into a global network of clubs with 1.4 million members who contribute roughly 47 million annual volunteer hours. In northeast Florida — Rotary District 6970 — there are more than 60 clubs with approximately 500 clubs statewide.

Each year, leadership of these clubs passes to new hands. Here is a round-up of the new officers for the 2022-23 year for some of our Rotary Clubs in the Jacksonville area:
