This Week's Speaker
Denise Brodsky, Executive Director, Clubhouse Atlanta
Join us this Friday at the Embassy Suites to welcome our own Rotarian Denise Brodksy, Executive Director of Clubhouse Atlanta. This non-profit organization's mission is to provide an inviting place for adults living with a mental illness - an experience that gives them respect, dignity and courage to reach their potential as valued and contributing members of their community. Clubhouse Atlanta’s model is based on a set of Clubhouse International’s evidence-based standards embraced by over 340 Clubhouses worldwide.
Denise has served in the non-profit sector in various roles for most of her professional career - in education and youth services, drug prevention, economic recovery, and more. Her Rotary connection began in St. Charles Paris, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrine. She is committed to improving the lives of our community and is proud to now call Georgia her home! She accepted the position of Executive Director with Clubhouse Atlanta in October 2022.
Denise is married and has three grown adult children who have given her five grandchildren. She and her husband have two fur babies and enjoy going to classic car shows in their 57 convertible Chevy Belair! She loves gardening, spending time with family and watching her grandchildren grow. [more]

Getting to Know You
Tina Philpot, Deep Ties to Dunwoody
Tina Philpot's dedication
to our Rotary Club and the wider community shines brightly. Since joining in
2002, sponsored by Fred Bounds, Tina has embodied the spirit of "Service
Above Self." Her favorite Rotary activity? Simply attending our weekly
meetings, a testament to her genuine enjoyment of fellowship and connection.
Tina's professional journey is equally impressive. Starting part-time at
Georgia Perimeter College in 1979, she ascended to Department Chair and Dean of
the College of Business, culminating in five years of crucial work during the
college's merger with Georgia State University. Retiring in 2020, her legacy in
education remains profound.
A past club president (2016-2017), Tina's leadership has been invaluable. She's
also a committed member of the Chamber of Commerce, representing both the
university and our Rotary Club, and advocating for strong community ties. Her
vision for our club is to be deeply integrated into the local landscape.
Beyond Rotary and professional life, Tina's roots run deep in Dunwoody where
she has lived for the past 49 years. A member of Dunwoody United Methodist
Church since 1979, she found more than a spiritual home; it's where she met her
husband of 37 years in a singles group. Tina's consistent presence and
commitment make her a true asset to our club.
