Lead District 5050 in 2026-27 - Are You That Person?
Being District Governor is one of the most critical roles in the District. It is rewarding, challenging, exciting, and highly responsible. It is the epitome of Service Above Self. The District Governor provides leadership, inspiration, and guidance to Rotary clubs under the general supervision of the Board of Directors.
In each district, the Governor serves as the official representative of Rotary International. They are charged with upholding the Constitution and Bylaws of Rotary International, fostering success in their District at the Club level. The District Governor is nominated by their Club, and all qualified candidates are interviewed by the District Nominating Committee, comprised of five Past District Governors. Each District Governor serves a one-year term, but that individual often fills many roles in the lead-up to and following their year as District Governor.
