Posted on Jan 14 2019
The Rotary Club of Saipan announced that a brand-new set of officers to serve for the Rotarian Year 2019 through 2020 has been elected.
Rotary president Greg Borja told members last Tuesday that the club’s selection of officers has officially ended with Rotary president-elect Sonya Dancoe as the club’s 2019-2020 president.
For the first time in three years, current vice president Brian Clayton would be stepping down from his position and will become the club’s Community Service director.
In Clayton’s stead, Sean Ficke was elected 2019-2020 club vice president.
Tatiana Babauta was elected club secretary, Dave Guerrero was re-elected treasurer, and Curtis Dancoe was elected sergeant-at-arms.
Frank Celis was elected Club Service director, while Ivan Ilmov was elected New Generations director, Yosh Gabaldon is now the Vocational Service director, Borja is international service director, and Nelson Krum is the Rotary Foundation director.
The elections were done last Dec. 18, 2018.
In an interview, Borja noted that the new officers are a highly motivated group.
“The officers and directors are very motivated Rotarians. A lot of them have been with the club for a while, so it is a great opportunity to take advantage of their leadership,” he said.
According to Borja, the club selects its officers one year in advance to allow them to prepare for a year’s worth of service.
Marcia Ayuyu, the 2018-2019 club president, would officially be starting her term in July 2019, leaving Borja with only six months left on his term.
“The Rotary year starts every July 1, so we would have our inauguration night at around that weekend,” he noted.
The Rotary traditionally meets every Tuesday at the Giovanni’s of Hyatt Regency Saipan and features a guest speaker.
