Rotary 5340 District Governor Scott Carr & Bocce update

It was exciting to listen to our District Governor Scott Carr. He had his first experience in Rotary as part of Rotaract, a Rotary-sponsored program designed for college students and young professionals looking to develop leadership skills and career connections while supporting the community. “Rotaract was connecting young professionals together long before social networks even existed, and continues to be an incredible resource in our community,” added Carr. Through Rotaract, he helped launch programs to support foster youth, as well as homeless and low-income seniors in downtown San Diego. It is also the place where he met his wife, Heather Rosing, a shareholder and Chief Financial Officer at the law firm of Klinedinst PC.
 

As District Governor, Carr is charged with leading nearly 65 Rotary Clubs. During the 2017-18 year, Carr has identified several areas of focus, including women leadership development, environmental sustainability, active and retired military, and youth. His key message was to focus on the "WHY" we are involved in Rotary. He indicated that almost 112M children have been saved from polio.
