District 7815 Governor Change
District Governor (DG) Jillian Gibson stepped down due to significant health challenges.
As a result of Jillian’s decision to step down, District Govenor Elect Marcel Gervais followed proper Rotary International (RI) procedure to appoint a Vice Governor. Marcel had to find a Past District Governor (PDG) who was willing and able to assume the DG role for the balance of this Rotary year following Jillian’s formal resignation. Her Rotary District 7815 family wish Jillian a speedy recovery to good health.
Don Sword accepted the role of DG for District 7815. Don has 35 years of being a Rotarian, serving on a variety of club, district and zone positions and especially his term at DG of the former District 7820 in 2017-18. More recently, Don visited RCMWR as District’s Foundation Committee as Endowment Chair.
A special thank you to DG Jillian Gibson for her leadership role in setting up the district leadership team and putting in place key processes and procedures to organize and run the district better. RCMWR are wishing
