Rotaract Club installs new board
(CNS Local Life): The Rotaract Club of Grand Cayman has a new board of officers and directors for 2019-2020, officially installed by District Governor David Kirkaldy. Joel Porter, who will serve as president, said at the recent ceremony his goal for the year is to forge closer working relationships with the other Rotary and Rotaract Clubs in the Cayman Islands, as well as other service clubs and associations.
“We are all working towards the same goal, so why not work together more and pool our resources to make a greater impact in our community,” Porter said in a press release. “I’m looking forward to working with my board, as well as the other clubs, for a great year of service through collaboration. Together we can all achieve more.”
Porter’s goal is in keeping with the Rotaract District 7020 theme for the 2019-2020 year, “Impact Through Unity”.
Since joining Rotaract in 2014, he has served as community service director, treasurer and vice president, and led many club projects including partnerships with the Cayman Islands Blood Bank, NCVO and Meals on Wheels.
“For me, Rotaract has been a great way to meet new people and give back to our community whilst also focusing on my own personal and professional growth,” Porter said. “I look forward to continuing the good work that our club has been able to achieve over the years and I’m excited to welcome new members to the Rotary and Rotaract family.”
The other officers and directors installed were Darron Conolly, vice president; Andrew Bloomfield, treasurer; Kimberly McNamee, secretary; and directors Philipp Richter (professional development), Ornella Leahong (sergeant-at-arms), Kourtneigh-Michelle Nicholson (club service), Rhadica Welcome (international service), Rhonda Coleman (community service), Brenda Martinez (public relations chair) and Josh Saldeba (fundraising chair). Rebecca Gonez will serve as immediate past president for 2019/2020.
