Jordan Ottoson, new Rotary President for 2015-2016

Outgoing President Norma Nosek with Incoming President Jordan Ottoson

 

Jordan Ottoson, Rotary President for 2015-2016, spoke to the club last Tuesday, July 7th.  

 

Ottoson began by thanking Outgoing President Norma Nosek for her year of hardwork and dedication to the club.  Ottoson then outlined his goals and vision for the club as he begins his Presidential year.  He touched on some of the ideas he would like to explore, including different models of membership, such as a shared spouse membership and a corporate type membership.

Ottoson expressed his excitement about the current Rotary leadership team, and credited the energy, ideas, and breadth of representation he sees from the leadership team.  Rather than a few people in the club taking on big responsibilities, he is proud to see that there are many people throughout the Club who have stepped up and taken on various leadership roles.

Ottoson spoke about his wish to maintain the tradition of Rotary, whilst still being open to new ideas, projects, and events.  His hope is to continue to hold Quarterly Fireside chats where new members and old can share their Rotary story and gain valuable insights on all the benefits that come with being an active Rotarian.

Ottoson ended his wonderful speech by reiterating his commitment to "Service above Self."  He said that this was the driving factor that led him to take on the role of President of the Club; although his work schedule may not always allow him to be present at meetings, he wants the Club to know they have his full dedication to the role.

Thank you Jordan!  We know that this year will bring good things!
