RI Director 2011-13 Ken Boyd believes that one (1) individual can have a meaningful impact on the lives of many.

While at the University of Southern California (“Fight On”), Ken Boyd helped write a student association’s Constitution which set into place the direction, foundation and focus for student government. This has affected literally hundreds of thousands of students throughout the world.

In 1975 as the Kerman Rotary Club President, he oversaw a community service project that brought paramedics to his home town and surrounding communities. They have reported over 19,000 calls.

As a Bishop for the local congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he implemented a program that increased the Membership by 400% in a four (4) year period of time.

As a District Governor, his District ranked first in the United States for per capita giving to the Rotary Foundation for Districts giving over $200,000. In the establishment of the Benefactor program, his District ranked 2nd in the United States and 7^th in the world.

Rotary International has sent him to 38 countries to present the ideas of Rotary. He has spoken at several Peace Conferences, one (1) immediately after 911 in Cairo, Egypt and more recently between Turkey and Armenia. This was instrumental in breaking the impasse between two (2) countries that had stood for almost 100 years.

As Chairman of Rotary’s World Membership and Retention effort, he and his Committee conceived, developed and implemented a program that resulted in the largest single year’s growth in Rotary’s history; approximately 55,000 net new members and 1,158 new Clubs, but more importantly generated an estimated seven million hours of humanitarian service over the first five (5) years. It also added approximately $25 million dollars to Rotary’s coffers.

In addition to his contributions to his community, nation and world, Ken Boyd and his wife Susan’s greatest accomplishment is the raising of their four (4) children, Michelle, Cyndi, Joey and Ashli, plus they enjoy their 13 beautiful grandchildren.
