Welcome to The Rotary Club of Albuquerque

Welcome to The Rotary Club of Albuquerque. I’m honored and grateful to serve as the 2026-2027 President, during our club’s 110^th year of service and fellowship in Albuquerque, NM. We have a very exciting year in front of us as we build on our past successes by continuing our impactful service projects, starting exciting new ones, and maintaining the fellowship and friendship which have defined The Rotary Club of Albuquerque for over a century. Rotary International’s message this year is Create Lasting Impact. One of the ways I hope the Rotary Club of Albuquerque can create lasting impact in our local community is by teaching, emphasizing and reinforcing positive cultural and environmental aspects of the things we think, say, and do. We all want the best for those around us and to live and thrive in a community which values integrity, fellowship, and fairness. It is my hope that the Rotary Club of Albuquerque will continue to make Albuquerque a better place to live and work.  

 

It’s important to remember that our impact on the community doesn’t come from leadership or slogans on a website. It’s the culmination of all our actions between each other, and between our club and the community. When we inspire a love of reading in young children, clean up litter along the Rio Grande, support grieving children, provide a leg up to those in foster care, help deliver meals over the holidays, or ring a bell to raise money in the cold, we are actively participating in creating the positive culture and environment we desire. It is my goal that every Rotarian is inspired to help, however they can, so that we all take pride in being part of this amazing organization which seeks to apply our values to create lasting impact in our community.
