Looking forward to a good turn out so we can show DG Bill Rotary, the Sooke way!

Here's some info on our District Governor 2024-25  Bill McGregor

Born in Vancouver, B.C., his family moved to Tacoma, WA when he was 4 years old. DG Bill has been a Rotarian since 2007. He has served as President of the Lacey Rotary Club, and was the Assistant Governor in Area 130, which includes Lacey, Gateway, Hawks Prairie, and Yelm clubs. Bill and his wife, Barbara, are Paul Harris Society members and Major Donors.

In addition to his contribution through Rotary, DG Bill has served on many non-profit boards. He currently serves on the South Sound Maritime Heritage Association board. DG Bill has a degree in Transportation Logistics, is certified as a Public Port Manager, was involved with Ports in Washington State for over 42 years, and worked at the executive level with the Ports of Tacoma, Olympia and Grays Harbor.

In 2000, he moved back to Lacey and went to work for Saint Martin’s University as the Director of Facilities Management. In 2006, he was appointed to the Port of Olympia Commission and held that position until he retired in December 2021.

DG Bill and his wife Barbara have been foster parents for over 40 years. They have opened their home to children for a night, for weeks, for months, and in several instances, for multiple years. They have five children, 14 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. (Lots of potential for future Rotarians!)
