Rotarians of the Month - June 2026
Rotary District 5495 is proud to recognize David and Brenda Brandhorst as our Rotarians of the Month, following their nomination by the Rotary Club of Queen Creek. Together, they exemplify the Rotary spirit of Service Above Self through their leadership, generosity, and unwavering commitment to their community.
For David, owner of Brandhorst Electric, community is more than a place—it is family. For years, David has invested in Queen Creek through his business, his Rotary service, and his dedication to improving the lives of others. Whether serving customers, supporting fellow Rotarians, or contributing to community initiatives, David consistently leads with a servant’s heart.
Beyond his local impact, David has demonstrated exceptional leadership at the district level. As Rotary District 5495 reimagined and transformed the long-standing Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) into the new Rotary Connections learning experience, David embraced change and helped guide others through the transition. His ability to see opportunity in change, build support among stakeholders, and focus on creating a more engaging member experience contributed to increased participation and growing attendance throughout the Rotary Connections sessions. David's leadership reflects Rotary's commitment to innovation, learning, and preparing members for meaningful service and leadership opportunities.
His commitment was also demonstrated through Brandhorst Electric’s sponsorship of the annual Run for Resilience, helping raise funds to provide mental health support and therapy services for local teens and families in need.
Brenda is equally dedicated to making a difference. As a founding member of the Rotary Club of Queen Creek and an active member of the Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce, she has helped shape the culture of service and community engagement that defines both the club and the community. Through her work as a realtor, Brenda not only helps families find homes but also connects them to the people, organizations, and opportunities that make Queen Creek a wonderful place to live. Her passion for community involvement is reflected in her support of Rotary initiatives, including the Run for Resilience and numerous projects that strengthen and uplift local families.
Together, David and Brenda demonstrate what it means to be Rotarians. Their leadership, compassion, and dedication have made a lasting impact on Queen Creek, the Rotary Club of Queen Creek, and Rotary District 5495. They serve as an inspiration to others by showing that meaningful change happens when people invest their time, talents, and hearts in serving others.
Congratulations to David and Brenda Brandhorst, Rotary District 5495's Rotarians of the Month. Thank you for your continued commitment to strengthening your community, growing Rotary, and helping others discover the power of Service Above Self.
