San Diego Zoo
Nov 16, 2018
Georgeanne Irvine Director of Corporate Publishing, San Diego Zoo Global San Diego native Georgeanne Irvine has devoted four decades of her career to raising awareness about animals and wildlife conservation. She is currently the director of corporate publishing for San Diego Zoo Global, which includes writing books and overseeing a new publishing division, San Diego Zoo Global Press. In the 40 years that “George” has worked for the Zoo, she has also held positions in the public relations and fundraising departments. A journalism degree from San Diego State University paved the way for George’s writing career. She is the author of nearly 25 children’s books about animals, including three titles for the Zoo’s new Hope and Inspiration series, which debuted this summer. These books feature true tales about specific animals that overcame challenges in their lives: Karen, a baby orangutan, who survived open-heart surgery; a friendly flamingo named Floyd; and the friendship between Ruuxa the cheetah and Raina, a Rhodesian ridgeback. George is also the author of hundreds of magazine, newspaper, and web articles, many of which are illustrated with her photographs. George’s passions are travel, photography, conservation, storytelling, Broadway musicals, and, of course, animals. Her worldwide adventures have taken her to some of the wildest places on Earth—from the jungles of Borneo and South America to the mountains of China and the glaciers of Alaska as well as the savannas of Africa and the Outback of Australia. She regularly leads tours for San Diego Zoo Global—her next trip is an around-the-world private jet expedition in January 2019—and she is often an enrichment lecturer for Silversea Cruise Lines. |

Former Chief of Police at San Diego Police Department
Mar 29, 2019
Shelley Zimmerman joined National University in January of 2019 as a Chancellor appointed professor focusing on public safety and leadership. Prior to this appointment Chief Shelley Zimmerman was hired by the San Diego Police Department in October of 1982. She was promoted to Chief of Police on March 4, 2014 and retired on March 2, 2018 after an illustrious thirty-five-year career. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio and is a graduate of The Ohio State University, with a degree in Criminal Justice. She is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy, FBINA #241. During Chief Zimmerman’s career she worked many of the San Diego Police Department's patrol commands. Shelley also has extensive investigative experience. Some of Chief Zimmerman's assignments have included Vice, Narcotics, Internal Affairs, Multi-Cultural Community Relations, the Mayor's Executive Protection Detail, and the Narcotics Task Force. Chief Zimmerman assisted in the security planning for several large events in San Diego such as the Super Bowl, Republican National Convention, Comic Con, MLB All-Star game, major conferences, protests and the 4th of July Independence Day holiday at the beach, where more than one million people come to enjoy each year. Chief Zimmerman believes in community policing and that public safety is a shared responsibility with everyone playing a crucial role in keeping San Diego safe. Chief Zimmerman instituted new policies and deployed new equipment such as body worn cameras, (the largest city at the time to do so), and gunshot detection sensors. During Chief Zimmerman’s tenure as Chief (2014-2018) San Diego experienced historic low crime rates, including the lowest homicide rate per capita of any of the largest cities in the country. In 2017, the City of San Diego had the lowest overall crime in the past 49 years and was named the safest large city in America. Chief Zimmerman received numerous awards and citations throughout her career which included; the San Diego Press Club Headliner of the year award for her undercover work, the San Diego Business Journal's Woman Who Mean Business Exemplary Award for her civic involvement with both the business and residential communities, the San Diego Police Foundation Women in Blue Award for her commitment to making San Diego one of the safest large cities in the United States and the Gold Key Award from the Hotel/Motel Association for her commitment to the Hospitality and Tourism Industry.

Expanding the Family of Rotary – Rotary Rose Parade Float
Apr 19, 2019
Brett Morey certainly needs no introduction to our club as he’s been a Rotarian for 17 years, been a member of the Rotary Club of La Jolla Golden Triangle since the Fall of 2008 and served as President 2013-14. He also serves as one of the Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee Directors and attends monthly meetings. What you may not know is how he got involved with the Rotary Rose Parade Float, how the budget is covered or ways in which all of us as Rotarians could use this opportunity to involve friends, business associates and family. Decorating the float is actually just one of several ways to get involved. Did you know you're invited to join the Rotary International President and their spouse along with 150-200 Rotarians for annual Holiday dinner in Pasadena on December 30th? Well you do now. The 2020 them of the Rotary Rose Parade Float is “Hope Connects the World” which is right in line with the 2019-20 Rotary International theme, “Rotary Connects the World!” Don’t miss the 131st Tournament of Roses on New Year’s Day or the opportunity to involve others as we work together to expand the family of Rotary. |
