Tsawwassen Rotarian Dave Hamilton has been appointed as district governor of Rotary District 5040, which covers the majority of the province.
A 30-year member of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen and a long-time leader within the district, Hamilton was inducted at a special virtual ceremony broadcast live via Zoom on Monday, July 13 to Rotarians across B.C.
The district governor will lead 50 clubs and 1,400 Rotarians, working with a global network of volunteer leaders who dedicate their time and talent to tackle the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members from more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
As governor, Hamilton is excited to help clubs develop new ways to grow Rotary, show people the opportunities that membership brings and increase the service club’s impact in the district.
He invites people to look up their local Rotary club at https://rotary5040.org/50003/ClubDirectoryand visit their local club webpage to see what Rotary is doing in their community. Many clubs are meeting virtually and prospective members are most welcome.
While we all navigate how to gather safely with one another, Rotary clubs continue to offer connection and engagement with other like-minded individuals who want to make a difference in their community and beyond. This year’s theme is Rotary Opens Opportunities.
Hamilton’s involvement in Rotaryis a way of living up to one of his favourite quotes from Martin Luther King, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”
The recently retired general manager of the Delta Optimist, Hamilton is looking forward to travelling the province, virtually and in person, to see the district and meet the Rotarians responsible for making a difference in their communities and across the globe.
