District Leadership
Cynthia Edwards Selected as District Governor Nominee Designate

The District Nominating Committee met on Saturday, November 18, 2023 and interviewed qualified candidates nominated by their Rotary Clubs. I am pleased to announce that Cynthia Edwards from the Rotary Club of Stone Mountain has been selected by the committee.

Cynthia served as President of the Rotary Club of Stone Mountain in 2013-2014 and 2020-2021. She is a Paul Harris Fellow. Cynthia currently serves as an Assistant Governor and is a 2023-2024 Emerging Leader.  She is married to Dr. Lonnie J Edwards, Sr. and they have three children and six grandchildren.  Cynthia is passionate about Rotary and community service. She has been recognized by the DeKalb Rotary Council for the 2021-2023 Outstanding Leadership Award and by the Rotary Club of Stone Mountain 2010 Rookie of the Year and 2023 “Show Rotary Cares” Award (Rotarian of the Year).

In accordance with our district resolutions:

Any club in the district in existence for at least one year as of the beginning of that year may also propose a challenging candidate for governor-nominee, but only if it previously suggested the candidate to the nominating committee. A club in existence for less than one year as of the beginning of that year may propose a challenging candidate if the candidate is a member of that club and was already suggested to the nominating committee. The name of the challenging candidate shall be submitted by a resolution of the club adopted at a regular meeting and filed with the governor by the date set by the governor, which shall be within 14 days of notification of the selection for governor-nominee. The latest date set for filing any such nomination would be December 20, 2023.

Join me in congratulating Cynthia on her selection by the nominating committee to serve as Rotary District 6900 Governor in 2026-2027.
