Rotarian of the Month for March

Maggie Nelson originally joined the Upper Kittitas County Rotary Club in Cle Elum, Washington, in 2010. She transferred to the Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club in 2014, and was sponsored by Carol Adamson.

As the club’s Youth Exchange Officer, Maggie works to coordinate the activities of the YE Counselor and the YE host families to ensure what is best for the inbound and outbound students. When Youth Exchange events within our state or British Columbia occur, Maggie often accompanies the student to that event.  With the changing of host families for our current Youth Exchange student, Maggie must interview the new host family and conduct an inspection of the household. Balancing the activities of the students and disbursing funds for the program is a constant challenge, but Maggie rises to the both tasks.

Maggie is also the Chair for our club’s Rotary Foundation Committee, providing club training on various Rotary Foundation programs and projects.

Congratulations, Maggie Nelson, for being our Rotarian of the Month for March, 2016.
