Locals Jo-Anne O’Connor and David Groves were recently inducted as joint presidents to the Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly – a club with a great track record of true spirit and determination dating back 68 years to the club’s beginnings in 1953.
A joint presidency is all about a great partnership – with each other, with the club and its members, and with businesses and the local community.
“It is a first for our club to have joint presidents and only the second time in our club history to have a female president,” exclaimed David.
“We are operating in a new world with new challenges so we believe that two heads will be better than one as we navigate the year together!”
Jo-Anne and David proudly state that “Our Rotary club has access to an enormously diverse pool of talent and expertise, which members give willingly in the cause of Rotary service, a service that will continue to focus on achieving positive outcomes for the community”.
Working together with the club, presidents Jo-Anne and David will help to motivate and inspire their members to embrace the theme of the new Rotary year which is “Serve to Change Lives”.
