WOMEN IN ROTARY

39th ANNIVERSARY

CELEBRATION & RECOGNITION

On 4 May, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Rotary clubs may not exclude women from membership on the basis of gender. Rotary issues a policy statement that any Rotary club in the United States can admit qualified women into membership. Sylvia Whitlock, of the Rotary Club of Duarte, California, becomes the first female Rotary club president.

Join us to recognize our Female Club's Presidents, and help us to recognize an incredible woman of our Club. So, female members and rotarian's wives, please dress in pink for this wonderful occassion. Wearing or bringing your high heels for a special photo is highly encouraged. 

Commemorative photos will be taken at the end of the meeting. 

For any questions, please contact Margarita MH or Suzi Howe.

As an FBI spokesman, Connor Hagan manages daily press inquiries, coordinates media matters during critical incidents, and amplifies major FBI investigations for public awareness. In this role, Connor enjoys building lasting relationships with law enforcement partners, journalists, and community leaders across Texas while maintaining a dynamic FBI presence on social media.

In addition to his public affairs duties, he also serves on FBI Houston’s lifesaving Crisis Negotiation Team.

Over a decade ago, Connor began his FBI career as a covert member of FBI Milwaukee’s Special Surveillance Group. As part of that team, he conducted clandestine surveillance operations targeting foreign intelligence agents, suspected terrorists, and corrupt elected officials. He later transitioned into an investigative support role where he assisted counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and violent crime squads with complex investigations.

In 2018, Connor accepted an FBI public affairs position in Houston. Two years later, he transferred to serve as the sole FBI spokesman for Arkansas. During this time, he was selected for the FBI’s elite Media Fly Team where he deployed to numerous mass casualty incidents and special security events across the country. Following this assignment, he moved back to Houston in his current role as an FBI spokesman.
