Fifty plus years in journalism and media management – 27 of which were spent ‘flying the flag’ as managing editor of Rotary Down Under – saw Bob well prepared to enjoy the role of Executive Director of Rotary Down Under Inc, specialising in public relations and corporate development in his final three years as leader of the Rotary region’s premier media organisation.

Bob retired from Rotary Down Under on July 1, 2014, and immediately launched his own small media company, Bob Aitken Media, to ensure his retirement was well motivated.

Bob joined the Rotary Club of Parkes, NSW, in 1975 and has been a member of the Rotary Club of Lower Blue Mountains in District 9685, NSW, since 1984. He was Governor of District 9690 in 1996/97.
