Welcome
Angelique Springer Davis
2026-27 President
Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise
Welcome, from President Angelique
As I begin my year as President of Santa Barbara Sunrise Rotary, my theme is Powered by Purpose and Joy.
Our meetings, projects, fundraisers, and events are all wonderful expressions of Rotary at its best. But the force behind everything we do—the thing that powers every act of service, every friendship, and every impact we make—is purpose.
At the Rotary International Convention in Taipei, one message resonated throughout the week: People join Rotary for service, but they stay because of belonging, friendship, and impact. Surrounded by more than 35,000 Rotarians from around the world, I was reminded that while our projects may differ, we are united by a shared desire to make our communities and our world a little better.
My hope this year is that every member feels connected to that purpose, inspired by our service, and proud of the difference we make together. I look forward to strengthening friendships, creating meaningful opportunities to serve, and building a club where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to contribute.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference in your community, build lasting friendships, and be part of something bigger than yourself, we invite you to join us. Rotary has a place for people who want to serve, connect, and create positive change—and we'd love to welcome you to Santa Barbara Sunrise Rotary.
Together, we are Powered by Purpose and Joy.
About Angelique
Angelique Springer Davis is a lifelong believer in the power of service, connection, and community. A true champion of Santa Barbara, she is passionate about preserving and celebrating the people, traditions, and organizations that make our community so special.
Her commitment to service has led her to leadership roles with numerous local organizations, including Old Spanish Days Fiesta, the Santa Barbara Courthouse—both as a docent and President of the Courthouse Legacy Foundation—Habitat for Humanity, and Rotary. Most recently, she chaired the first-ever Fiesta Dog Parade, bringing together hundreds of dog lovers for a joyful new community tradition.
Professionally, Angelique has spent her career helping organizations grow, connect with their audiences, and tell their stories. She has held senior marketing, communications, and customer success leadership roles, helping organizations strengthen relationships and create meaningful impact.
One of Angelique's most meaningful Rotary experiences was hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange student from Japan. Opening her home and family to an exchange student deepened her appreciation for Rotary's unique ability to build friendships, understanding, and goodwill across cultures and continents.
When she's not working or volunteering, Angelique enjoys traveling, gardening, cooking, reading with her longtime book club, and spending time with her husband, Erik, and their beloved Maltipoo, Joy.
As incoming President of Santa Barbara Sunrise Rotary, Angelique is excited to build on the club's strong foundation of service, fellowship, and fun while working alongside fellow Rotarians to create a lasting impact in Santa Barbara and beyond.

Rotary is an international leadership organization. It’s made up of local business, professional, and civic leaders. We meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships and through that, we’re able to get things done in our local and worldwide communities. Rotary is a leader in the effort to eradicate polio worldwide, brings clean water and education to people in need, and promotes peace. The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise was founded in 1985 and is a diverse group of 45 members. The club meets on the first and third Wednesdays at 7:00 am at the Santa Barbara Club located at 1105 Chapala Street in Santa Barbara. For more information, call (805) 705-9951.
