Bob Weber was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland in the community of Howard Park. He attended Loyola High School and later spent three years in the army where his tour of duty took him to Okinawa for two years. After his military career, Bob earned a BA in English from Missouri State University and an MAR in Religious Studies from Harding School of Theology. He spent nearly thirty-eight years in ministry working in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Near the end of his ministerial career, he added an MA in Professional Writing from New England College and has since published a book. He and his wife Janet have been married for forty-eight years; recently they moved to Colorado so they could be near their two sons and four grandsons.

Combining years of experience communicating ideas behind a lectern, in class, and in small groups, Bob now teaches others how to craft their written and oral messages not only to persuade but to be clear, concise, and memorable. Business success demands it. “Your ability to communicate with others will account for fully 85% of your success in your business and in your life,” Brian Tracy, motivational speaker and author. A major obstacle to success is striving merely for mediocrity. Seeking success with an average ability to communicate limits personal development and stifles potential for excellence. Communicating is one of the X factors a person needs to succeed. Bob can raise anyone’s communication skills to the level of excellence.

Michael Gordon believes that a strong social and economic network has the potential to change people’s lives. After completing his Ph.D. at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), he specifically sought out opportunities, and employment, in education (UNLV, Public Education Foundation) and economic development (Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance) to achieve this aim. During his time at the LVGEA, the organization was successful in luring the Raiders football team to Las Vegas, starting the movement in getting the Formula One race and Athletics baseball team to find a home in Las Vegas.

While in Las Vegas, Michael was active in the non-profit sector receiving the Vegas Inc. “Volunteer of the Year” award for his years of service on numerous boards. Since relocating to Colorado, Michael has joined, or been elected to, the boards of Rotary Club of Broomfield, the Broomfield Area Chamber of Commerce and FRIENDS of Broomfield.

He has served Rotary at the club, District, Zone, and International levels. Michael served District 5300 as Assistant Governor, District Trainer, District Conference chair, and Vocational Training chair and has served District 5450 as the chair of the Rotary Scholarship committee. Additionally, he served as the Assistant Rotary Coordinator (Membership) for Zones 26/27 from 2022-24. On the international level, he served as a member of the RI Joint Learning Committee which develops curriculum for the Rotary Learning Center courses on MyRotary.

He met his wife Amanda when they both served as charter members of the Rotaract Club of Las Vegas. She later served as a District Rotaract Representative and attended four International Conventions. Says Michael: “She is a better Rotarian than me – and she isn’t even a member of Rotary!”

As a Rotary Foundation alumnus, Michael strongly believes in the impact every Rotarian can have through their continued donations to the “engine that drives Rotary service worldwide”.

Together, the couple supports the Foundation as Benefactors, Bequest Society members, and Major Donors.
