FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynne Lindsey and all news should be directed to her at lynnehlindsay@outlook.com

President's Message
Sprucing up Roswell

A special thanks to Leslie Bassett and Harvey Smith for organizing construction of ten picnic tables. With a little elbow grease and strong backs, the tables are assembled and ready to be delivered for painting. Each table will be themed especially for the recipient and will have the Rotary logo and of course, our famous parrot.

What a fun way to engage our club and the community while sharing the Rotary message!

This Week's Speaker
Atlanta Regional Commission


Doug Hooker leads the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), the agency which coordinates local government policy and planning for metro Atlanta to enhance the region’s economic competitiveness. In his career, he has worked for public sector and private sector organizations, among them: the City of Atlanta’s Department of Public Works, the State Road & Tollway Authority, Atkins Engineering and Georgia Power.

He is active in his profession and currently serves as the President of the Executive Directors’ Council of the National Association of Regional Councils. He was a co-founder of the Major Metros forum of this same association.

He currently serves on the advisory board for the Ivan Allen College (of Georgia Tech), the School of City and Regional Planning (Georgia Tech), Agnes Scott, the Georgia Drawdown Project Advisory Board, the Fox Theatre Institute, and the board of directors of the Aurora Theatre. His past service has included the Atlanta Music Project, the Council for Quality Growth, CHRIS 180, the Georgia Tech (President’s) Advisory Board, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Opera, the Georgia Conservancy, and the Piedmont Park Conservancy.

Doug is an alumnus of Leadership Atlanta, Leadership Georgia, the Regional Leadership Institute, the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership, and Leadership PBS&J. He has been recognized as the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Ivan Allen College School of Public Policy, 100 Most Influential Georgians (Georgia Trend), 100 Most Influential Atlantans (Atlanta Business Chronicle), 10 Most Influential Atlantans (Atlanta Tribune) and an Excellence in City Government award from the Atlanta City Council.

Hooker holds a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science from Georgia Tech, as well as an MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta School of Business.
