Sigrid Solomon of the Wilmington AM Rotary Club is the new 2019-2020 District 6670 Rotary International Governor. Sigrid is a Past President of the Wilmington AM Rotary Club. She is the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at Wilmington College. She is the first female, African American governor for the district.  Her goals include increasing membership in each club, improving membership participation and raising funds for the eradication of polio

In 1998, Sigrid participated in a Rotary-led, all-female delegation trip to England for a group study exchange program. During that time women were not welcome to attend Rotary meetings and many groups canceled meetings. This initiated a change in the culture of England's Rotary organizations.  

Sigrid is planning to bring the 2020 District Conference to her hometown of Wilmington. She will put together a service project for Rotarians and Wilmington college students.  The groups will build beds so children will not have to sleep on floors. 

Sigrid looks forward to bringing in new professionals and setting the stage for Rotary to continue as an agent for positive change in modern society.
