This Week, July 11:
District Governor Mike Montgomery
"Your Club’s Role in the World of Rotary"

Mike Montgomery brings a 30 year history of leadership and civic service to his role as District Governor. A retired Navy Captain, Mike served as Commanding Officer of several Navy Reserve commands, including Patrol Squadron 69 at NAS Whidbey Island, where he was responsible for 420 officers and enlisted personnel, and 12 P-3 aircraft.

Mike’s civic leadership began in 1986. As Chair of the Navy Seafair Committee he coordinated extensive Navy support of Seattle’s famous festival. Invited onto the Seafair Executive Committee, he was named a Vice President, and Chairman of the Seafair Airshow, a role he enjoyed for four years.

Mike also served as President of the Naval Reserve Association -13th District and was named a National Director for its Naval Reserve Fund. In 1991, he was elected President of the Reserve Officers’ Association – Department of Washington.

In his professional life, Mike formed Montgomery & Associates in 1993, a consulting firm specializing in disaster response and recovery planning. Clients include corporations, universities, federal agencies, and municipalities throughout the Puget Sound region and Alaska. He has worked across the country on 24 national disasters as a reservist with FEMA.

Mike’s Rotary service began in 1991 in the Rotary Club of Edmonds. Now with the Edmonds Daybreakers, Mike has served as Club International Service Chair, Chair of the Edmonds Jazz Connection, Club President, and Assistant District Governor. Mike attended the RI conventions in Barcelona and Chicago, is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, and a 2005 graduate of the Rotary Academy.

In 1968, Mike married Connie Helgason, an honors graduate and former Miss Iceland in Seattle’s 1st Nordic Festival. Connie is in her 15th year working with elementary school children in the Edmonds School District. The Montgomery’s have three sons: Jon, a UW graduate, Naval Officer and 4th year medical student; Jason, a Central Washington U. (CWU) graduate and professional stage carpenter in Seattle; and Jordan, in his final year at CWU, majoring in Public Relations. Mike and Connie live in Edmonds, Washington.
