Bellevue Rotary Club, Bellevue, WA FEATURED SPEAKER ON AUGUST 9, 2005
Dave Reichert
Reichert has a remarkable record of service. Decisive leadership, integrity and tireless dedication are his hallmarks. In 1972 Reichert joined the Sheriff's Office and in 1997 he became King County's first elected sheriff in over 30 years. During his department leadership the county saw a significant drop in violent crime. Reichert brought national recognition to the Sheriff's Office as head of a task force solving one of the largest serial murder cases in U.S. history. As sheriff, Reichert also brought an unprecedented $28 million in federal funding to King County law enforcement efforts. Sheriff Reichert is established as a leading voice against domestic violence and an advocate of strong family values. In 2004 Reichert received the prestigious National Sheriffs Association's "Sheriff of the Year" award. He is a two-time Medal of Valor Award recipient from the King County Sheriff's Office and was honored with Washington Policy Center's Champion of Freedom Award. Reichert received the Families Northwest Public Policy Award and took top honors in a KING5 leadership poll. Reichert was president of the Washington State Sheriff's Association and an executive board member of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. He has served on numerous advisory boards including the King County Criminal Justice Council and the King County Domestic Violence Council. Reichert a co-chaired the Washington State Partners in Crisis, a statewide coalition targeting issues related to mental health. David George Reichert, 53, was born in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, the oldest of seven children and grandson of the town marshal. His family moved to Washington state in 1951 living first in Renton and later in Kent where Reichert attended Kent Meridian High School. He graduated from Concordia Lutheran College in Portland, Oregon where he played football and met his wife of 33 years, Julie. The Reicherts currently live in Auburn and have three grown children, Angela, Tabitha and Daniel and five grandchildren. BAM Sales Big Success! The weekend BAM sales were definitely service above self, with an amazing sales team battling heat, melting ice cream, diminishing dry ice, and jostling crowds. The BRC grossed nearly $6,000, and that is money that goes back into boosting our community. Thank you so much for volunteering, especially those of you who also “volunteered” your respective spouse and kids. We are off to a good fundraising year for President Ross and good fellowship for Bellevue Rotary.
