My name is Leigh Ann Davis, and I’m honored to be talking over as President of the Rotary Club for the upcoming year. I’ve been a member of Rotary since 2009, and I’m beyond proud of the service our club provides to our community, as well as the worldwide efforts Rotary International takes on each year. While I know many members personally, I’m looking forward to meeting more of you throughout the year.

 

Outside of Rotary, I’m the CEO of Girl Scouts of MN & WI Lakes & Pines. I’ve worked for this organization for the past 28 years. At my core, helping girls develop courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place is what I’ve done for the past 42 years. In many avenues, women are not invited to the leadership table. I’m proud to be a part of both Girl Scouts and Rotary, who see the value in women as leaders.

 

Personally, I’ve been married to my husband Gregg for the past 27 years. We have two grown children, Kelly & Lauren, who are both married and living life to the fullest. I have two grandchildren, Brayden who just turned five and Isabelle who is 15 months old. Being a grandma has quickly become one of my favorite titles. When I’m not working or spending time with my family, I take part in another love of mine, theater. I enjoy directing the musical for Rocori High School, as well as working with Great Northern Theatre Company in Cold Spring. You’ll occasionally hear me extending an invitation to see a Broadway show in Minneapolis as well.

 

I’m looking forward to serving as your President and hope we can engage in Rotary activities together in the upcoming year.
