In March 1992, Rob joined the Mt Martha Club and has served a number of years on the club board as Secretary, Foundation Director and Vice President. He has served in multiple roles within the club service areas, notably as the Rotary Foundation Centurion program chair.
At District 9820 level, Rob was selected to the position of District Governor in 1995-1996 and during his year Rotarians were asked to respond to the theme of the World President `Act with integrity, serve with love, work for peace'. He also served as the Rotary Foundation District Co-Ordinator and was a strong supporter of the Group Study Exchange program.

Congratulations to Rob on this wonderful achievement.
