Immediate Past President, Frank Rose
Although the 2007/08 Rotary year started with no nominations for President Nominee, Rotarian Frank Rose stepped forward and volunteered for the position and became President of the Club in his turn for 2009/10. Frank is retired after spending a lifetime working in agricultural pharmaceuticals and, more recently, as a publican. He is married to Anne and, a very keen supporter of Leicester Tigers Rugby Club, can be found out on the terraces at Welford Road at most home games in his red, green and white club shirt.
Being President
In Rotary International, Club Presidents - like all senior Rotarians - serve for just one year in that position. The President Elect automatically becomes President after one year and will normally have served a year prior to that as President Nominee. Other Officers serve between three and five years depending on the position and are then obliged to take a one year sabbatical rest before holding another position.
It is a great honour to be elected to any position within a Rotary Club.
Presidents and Officers receive no salary or, stipend and undertake their duties in the spirit of the Rotary motto which is:
