District Governor Visit

Oct 09, 2025

Kristine Redko

Kristine has been a Rotarian since 2007 when she was a founding member of the Rotary Club of Rancho Cotati in District 5130. Since then, she has served as President twice, Secretary, Vocational Chair, Club Service Chair, Youth Exchange Host Parent, District Public Image Chair, and she helped found a second Rotary Club during COVID – the Rotary Club of Sonoma Mountain Twilight. Her claim to fame is that on July 30, 2010 – during her first Presidential term – she gave birth to her twins and led Rancho Cotati to Small Club of the Year for 2010-11. Roman and Katya are almost 15, and she considers them her favorite “Junior Rotarians.”

Married for 23 years to Dr. Peter Redko, a Podiatrist in Petaluma, CA, Kristine is a Client Account Executive for Ministry Brands and has degrees from Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins. Their twins are in high school at Casa Grande in Petaluma, and she’s proud to say that they have excellent grades and actively participate in soccer (Roman), Interact, and track/cheerleading (Katya). Kristine also has a side hustle as the lead singer in a local rock band, The Pickled Beats.

Rotary has been like a second family to Kristine, especially after she moved to CA from NYC with her husband and didn’t know anyone. She found a new best friend (now her Chief of Staff) and instantly bonded with a passionate group of amazing volunteers and individuals from all walks of life.

She is truly honored to be 5130 District Governor in 2025-2026 where her District Theme is “Rotary: The Music in our Hearts.” Let’s #UniteForGood and change the world!
