Conference Highlights:
Spotlight on one of our Keynote Speakers Slyvia Whitlock
Rotary has come a long way since its founding in 1905. In large part because of Sylvia Whitlock. An advocate, a trailblazer and a humanitarian — these are just a few words people used to describe her. And you will learn more about this impressive woman when you attend District Conference this year. Including being present for her 90th birthday party! While she is perhaps best known for being the first woman ever to become president of a Rotary club, she has a lot of additional notable accomplishments.
Born in New York City, she attended high school in Kingston, Jamaica. She returned to New York City and earned a BA in Psychology from Hunter College. She worked at the United Nations as a Statistical Clerk before moving to California to pursue a career in education, having earned a master’s degree in education from California Polytechnic University at Pomona. She earned her PhD in Education from Claremont Graduate School and another Masters’ Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. She became an elementary school principal in Duarte, California in 1982 and served as an educator for 40 years before beginning a second career as a family therapist. She served as club president twice at her Rotary Club of Duarte and at various times served as club secretary, treasurer and Foundation Representative.
At district level, she served as District Governor, chaired the Ambassadorial Scholarship Committee for six years, has been assistant governor, presenter at Institutes and a speaker at Rotary Clubs, Conventions and meetings across the globe.
Sylvia is a recipient of many awards including the Rotary Foundation District Service Award. She has supported an orphanage in Mexico, sunk wells in Nigeria and raised nearly $90,000 to educate girls in India. She is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow and benefactor.
