2026-27 District Governor Brady Connell's Inaugural Message

Welcome to Rotary District 5280 – Greater Los Angeles.

Whether you are a Rotarian, a future member, or simply someone interested in learning more about Rotary, we’re glad you’re here.

Rotary is a global community of people who come together to serve, build connections, and create positive change. Every day, Rotarians across Greater Los Angeles and around the world are working to strengthen communities, support those in need, and make a lasting impact.

It is my honor to serve as District Governor alongside the incredible Rotarians of District 5280. I am continually inspired by their generosity, compassion, and commitment to service. Their work reminds us that when people unite with a shared purpose, extraordinary things are possible.

This year, we embrace Rotary International’s theme: Create Lasting Impact. It reflects what Rotarians do best- turning ideas into action, challenges into opportunities, and service into meaningful results.

As you explore our website, I invite you to discover the people, projects, and partnerships that make Rotary special. Whether through local service or global initiatives, Rotarians are making a difference every day.

Thank you for visiting. We invite you to learn more, get involved, and join us in creating lasting change.

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

As we begin the new Rotary year, District 5280 is responding to one of the most devastating disasters in Latin America in decades.

For those who would like to support earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela through the Rotary family, we invite you to donate through the Disaster Network of Assistance Rotary Action Group (DNA-RAG), which is working in partnership with Disaster Aid USA. Together, these organizations are providing assistance to individuals, families, and small businesses affected by this tragedy.

We encourage you to support this important relief effort and to share this opportunity with your fellow club members and others who may wish to help. Donations may be made through the Rotary Action Group's relief page using the link below:

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to helping those in need.

Gratefully,

District 5280 Disaster Response Committee
