Honoring our Veterans

In honor of the Veterans Day holiday on November 11th, we proudly recognize and thank the Buckhead Rotarians who have served our country – and those who have served as part of another nation’s armed forces. We also honor the men and women in uniform who continue to protect our freedoms. Your service and sacrifice inspire us all.

With gratitude and respect — Happy Veterans Day!

Service Above Self: Interested in joining the Buckhead Rotary Board of Directors?

As past president Denise Starling mentioned in Monday’s meeting, it’s that time of year where we assemble our slate of officers and directors for the next Rotary year.

Directors serve three-year terms, and this role is an excellent opportunity to get more involved in the operations and leadership of our club — it can also put you on the path toward future club leadership positions. To be eligible, you must have been a member of our club for at least two years at the time of the election.

If you would like to be considered or just want to learn more about what’s involved to serve as a club director, please reach out to Past President Denise as soon as possible. Click here for our roster to connect with Denise, or any other club member today!
