The Year of Rotary
Nov 02, 2017
District Governors (DGs) provide leadership, inspiration, and guidance to Rotary clubs under the general supervision of the Rotary International Board of Directors. In each jurisdiction or district, the Governor serves as the regional officer of Rotary, fostering success in their district at the club level. Across the globe, Rotary Districts fluctuate in size and geography. District 5340 spans all of San Diego and Imperial Counties, as well as a portion of Riverside County. The District Governor is nominated by the Clubs in their district to represent Rotary International. The District Governor is selected by a nominating committee, usually chaired by the Immediate Past District Governor. That committee is responsible for publicizing the nomination process, reviewing all applicants for the position, and then communicating the results of the selection process to members of the District. Each District Governor serves a one year term, but that individual often fills many roles in the lead-up to year as serving as District Governor. In advance of their year, each District Governor will appoint Assistant Governors to assist in managing activities in the District, and to help facilitate projects that involve multiple clubs. District 5340 has a District Governor (current year), a District Governor Elect (DGE) the next year, and District Governor Nominee (DGN) the following year. Depending on the time of year, a District may also have identified a District Governor Nominee Designate.
Within District 5340, Past District Governors (PDGs) serve a vital role as de facto members of the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council is an advisory body that provides mentoring, guidance, and assistance to current leaders.
Learn more about these dynamic individuals who have served (and will serve) as District Governor by selecting from the links to the left.

He completed residency training in the UCSF Family Medicine Program in Santa Rosa and in the Preventive Medicine Residency at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. He is Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at San Diego State University. Dr. Novotny was Professor of Epidemiology at UC San Francisco (UCSF) in 2002-2009, and then was co-director of the Joint PhD program in Global Health at San Diego State University and UC San Diego, where his research focused on global health diplomacy, tobacco, and non-communicable diseases.

He relocated from San Diego to Washington DC to serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health with a focus on Science and Medicine.

“Passions and Public Health Predicaments in the Pacific” Dr. Novotny will present the historical basis for the United States’ political and public health commitments in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands, including the Territories of Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, as well as the Freely Associated States of the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. From the devastation of World War II, through the nuclear testing in the ‘Trust Territories,” to the emergence of independent small countries that are now threatened by climate change, to the appearance of zika in French Polynesia, to the growth of multinational military interests across the Pacific, to the explosion of the obesity epidemic among Pacific Islanders, to the challenges facing US and other nations’ health programs in trying to deliver health across this vast geographic area, the Pacific remains as complicated and as evocative to health professionals today as it was to the artist Paul Gaugin in the 1880s. |

There is enormous value in fear, risk, struggle and failure
Mar 01, 2018
As an entrepreneur, business owner and professional skydiving entertainer, Ron Lee has, like most business owners, seen the best times and the worst times in business. Myriad moments of immense risk, fear and challenge in both his skydiving and business management careers have occurred, leading him to epiphanies he never expected. Thus, Ron suggests that we reconsider the very basic nature of fear, risk, struggle and failure, and how to utilize these as building blocks for the ultimate goal of SUCCESS. For Ron personally, questioning customary ideas about these intense life experiences resulted in galvanizing moments of understanding. As his audiences learn early on, “There is enormous value in fear, risk, struggle and failure”. With more than thirty years of skydiving, entertainment, leadership and real-world business ownership experience, Ron has discovered that some elements of personal creativity and vision require deliberate efforts of meaningful, intelligent and quantifiable risk. Ron believes it is our voluntary and deliberate embrace of challenge and risk that stokes the creative fires of the human brain, and that our steps into the realm of repeated risk challenge helps result in the long term outcomes we desire. “Epiphanic moments result from a risk-rich existence”. With his compelling narratives around the real-life experiences as a professional demonstration skydiver, Ron connects the dots between deliberate, intelligent and manageable risk, situational discomfort, the “cannot fail” nature of skydiving and the resulting evolution in thinking that leads to greater understanding, accomplishments and personal success. He defines this path for audiences, leaving them with the tools needed to accomplish greater goals, master fear and insecurity and deliberately evolve their most creative selves. Ron’s entertaining multi-media presentations are punctuated with incredible stories and thrilling video from some of his most challenging and memorable skydiving performances. They are tailored to corporate, conference, community and service organizations, and serve to enlighten, inspire and awaken audiences to the incredible personal and professional outcomes that are the natural result of pushing beyond one’s perceived limitations. Ron Lee holds a US Parachute Association “D” license and PRO (Professional Demonstration Skydiver) rating, and has nearly 5,300 skydives. Currently serving as a US Parachute Association Safety and Training Advisor, Ron consults with professional skydivers and their teams, and provides counsel and guidance to FAA authorities when called up on to evaluate requests for FAA demonstration jump authorizations. Each year, Ron conducts several west coast training camps for experienced skydivers who want to qualify for their professional ratings. Ron is an FAA Part 107-certificated commercial drone pilot, and possesses myriad authorizations for drone flight operations in controlled airspace. |

Illiteracy Eradication
Mar 08, 2018
On a Mission to Teach Learning Disabled Children to Read Dr. Suki Stone is passionate about her position as a literacy advocate. Since she has spent the last 35 years teaching children with special education, Dr. Stone had no option but to create an entirely new method to teach these forgotten children to read. She is creator, founder, and facilitator of Reading Literacy Solutions for the You Read program, a revolutionary system designed to teach writing, reading, and comprehension to children and adults with learning disabilities, dyslexia or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Stone is also author of Rethink Reading Strategies, a book published in 2015. Since receiving her PhD from Claremont Graduate University jointly with San Diego State University she has led a crusade to help learning disabled children and adults recognize they are smart, passionate, but just learn differently.

Dr. Stone helps many of her adult clients, who struggled for years, achieve their personal and business goals by becoming independent readers. Dr. Stone can be contacted through her website: www.youread.org or by phone 858-487-7889. |

Sisu Academy
Mar 29, 2018
Our mission is to support underserved and disengaged high school youth with a tuition-free boarding school education. This will allow us to move our students from environments that are inhibiting their success to becoming community leaders. The model is both exciting and unique. We believe that providing a project-based education with a focus on entrepreneurial skills, while having wraparound services on campus, is essential to our students’ success. Because we are a boarding school, we have more time in each week to devote to our students. We are able to work on many types of curriculum through project based learning including financial literacy and public speaking skills. And we will address important social and emotional issues required for future success. We do all this while also building a long-term self-funding model. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that is creating an internal, sustaining, accelerator on campus to create revenue and allow us to remain tuition-free. |
