Dick Cameron introduced our speaker, Jeff Jones who is the current President of Morro Bay Rotary. Dick told us that Jeff has been with the club since 1996 and is a 7 times Paul Harris Fellow.
Jeff told us that it is a challenge to get someone to take on the job of President. The President makes a difference in the club, the community and the world. He/she must be willing to take a risk, build trust and teamwork by encouraging every member of the club to participate. Some of the requirements include:
Gumby Management Style Ability to Network with other Clubs
Plan & Organize Be Decisive
Be Creative Keep Things Fun
It all comes down to “Service Above Self.
