A Tradition of “Remarkable Leadership”
As you read this, Boothbay Harbor Rotarian Martha Peak Helman – Marty – will have just completed a term as Rotary Foundation Trustee (2022-26) and is now beginning to serve on the Board of Directors of Rotary International. She reflected recently with 7780 Newsletter’s roving reporter on her experience as a Trustee and looked forward to her time as a Director.As a Foundation Trustee:
Marty was able to serve on the board with the most knowledgeable people in Rotary; she found it a “humbling and amazing experience to work closely with four Rotary International Past Presidents.” When asked what she was most proud of as a Trustee, Marty demurred, saying they were “seemingly little things.” But the “little things” could be life-changing for the people affected. Case in point – the Trustees considered “21st Century Issues,” among which is the environment and transitioning from fossil fuels.
