Welcome to Rotary District 5170!
New Rotary Year 2026-2027 welcome message from
District Governor Dr. Geeta Kadambi
It is a privilege to serve as District Governor for 2026–2027 and work with more than 3,600 Rotarians in 63 clubs across Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties.
Our theme, Inspire, Collaborate and Creating Lasting Impact, reflects our commitment to strengthening clubs, expanding membership, developing future leaders, and increasing Rotary's visibility throughout our communities.
This year, we will focus on growing membership, supporting innovative service projects, engaging Interactors and young professionals, launching the Interactor Journalist Program, maximum participation in RYLA, hosting the Rotary Collaborative Summit, and publishing the Rotary District 5170 Coffee Table Book to preserve our district's history and showcase the impact of our clubs.
Achieving these goals requires the participation of every Rotarian. I invite each of you to contribute your time, talent, and expertise as we work together to make Rotary District 5170 the leading district in the world for service, generosity, collaboration, and community impact.
I look forward to serving with you.
