The Rotary Club of Dunwoody is proud to shine a spotlight on one of its most dedicated members, Rick Woods. Rick joined our club in March 2012, driven by a heartfelt desire to give back to his community. He quickly discovered that Rotary's diverse avenues for service provided the perfect platform for him to make a difference.

Rick's journey to Rotary was influenced by former club presidents Jackie Ward and Bill Woulfin, but it was his neighbor, Fred Bounds, who ultimately encouraged him to attend his first meeting and truly sparked his interest.

His commitment to the club was evident when he took the helm as president during the 2018-2019 term. Under Rick's exceptional leadership, our club achieved remarkable success, earning both the Club of the Year and Club of the Decade awards. Rick himself was recognized with the prestigious Sheffield Leadership Award, a testament to his outstanding contributions.

When asked about his favorite club activities, Rick enthusiastically points to Special Olympics days and any initiative involving children, including the Rotary Youth Exchange and our various scholarship programs. Looking to the future, Rick is passionate about increasing our club's fundraising efforts to help even more people and raising our profile within Dunwoody, ensuring every resident is aware of the powerful work we do.

Outside of his Rotary commitments, Rick is looking forward to a golf trip next week with his son at TPC Sawgrass in Florida. We're incredibly fortunate to have Rick Woods as a vital part of our Rotary family!
