NEW MEMBER INDUCTIONS
At this week’s meeting, we warmly welcomed two new members to the Rotary Club of Vancouver:
Bob Nassiri and Kevin Hayes.
Bob brings experience in robotics, marketing, and AI, along with a background in entrepreneurship and service as a Rotary youth committee liaison.
Kevin, a digital marketing expert, has led major volunteer initiatives and fundraising events. Kevin has transferred his Rotary membership from Calgary to Vancouver.
Both new members were welcomed by the club, assigned mentors (Ian Storrs for Bob, Olesia Kloster for Kevin), and are set to explore the many service opportunities within the club. We look forward to their contributions and personal growth as members of our Rotary community.
