STRC Speaker: District Governor Diane Donaher

District Governor Diane Donaher is a member of the Bethlehem Rotary Club and was a charter member of Bethlehem Morning Star Rotary Club formed in 1989.  She served as President of both clubs and Assistant Governor for Area 2. The Rotary International Council on Legislation voted to allow women as members of Rotary that year. Diane is grateful to have been part of these important years of Rotary International’s growth and development.

 

Her early Rotary years were filled with community projects like ringing the bell for the Salvation Army (always accompanied by her children wearing Santa hats or reindeer antlers!) and fund-raising spaghetti dinners.  Having two small children and experiencing a job change, she moved to the Bethlehem Rotary Club in 2003 due to meeting time and location. As she learned more about Rotary and the opportunity to serve beyond her community, Diane was chair of the district Vocational Service Committee, participated on the Foundation Committee using her professional skills to serve, Diane chaired six District 7430 Conferences.  She is a Paul Harris Fellow +3 , Foundation Benefactor and Bequest Society Level 1 member with her husband, Dean.

 

DG Diane looks forward to visiting our club to share the message of the 2023-2024 Rotary International theme "Create Hope in the World".
