2026-2027 ROTARY CLUB OF YORK OFFICERS
President-Elect Nominee: Cal Weary
President-Elect: Kelley Gibson
President: Doug Berman
Financial Vice-President/Treasurer: BJ Fegely
Welcome to the Rotary Club of York, PA, the largest Rotary Club in Pennsylvania and one of the 30 largest in the world, out of more than 40,000 clubs.
Rotary International’s theme for this year is Create Lasting Impact, which encourages all of us, as people of action, to work together to make a meaningful difference in our communities and around the world. It builds on the ways in which members have strengthened their connections to each other and to their communities to Unite for Good, which was the theme for this past year. Create Lasting Impact will harness those connections and inspire our members, participants, and the public to take collective action that lead to a sustainable difference – globally, locally, and personally.
I have four goals for my year as Club President, and they are the following:
- Strengthening and empower our committee leadership, and increase committee engagement, and activity.
- Completion of at least one high-impact Club project, which will be one of the largest in the 110-year history of our Club and identify other projects to follow.
- An intentional membership prospecting effort with an increased focus on growing our business members, intentionally targeting the larger businesses in our community that are under-represented in our Club.
- Completion of the planning phase of the 2027-2029 Strategic Plan for the Club, so that it is ready to go when President-Elect Kelley Gibson takes over as Club President.
This year we will welcome our new Executive Director Terri Travers. Terri comes to the Club with more than two decades of nonprofit leadership experience and will play a critical role in the continued growth, impact and success of our Club.
The Rotary Club of York is more than informative and entertaining weekly meetings and fellowship; we are a driving force in our community. My hope is that our members will increase their level of activity within the Club, and prospective members will desire to be part of this impact and take the next step and join our ranks.
Sincerely,
Doug Berman
