September 10th - District Governor Doug Baker

Doug is a member of the Downey Rotary Club.  He joined the club in 1989 and was their 2005-06 Centennial President.  During that year the Club was awarded numerous distinctions, achieved 100% Paul Harris status and the large Club of Excellence Award.

His service to District 5280 includes SAG-Membership (2006-07) the SAG-Foundation (2007-08) when as part of a dynamic team the District ranked number one in the US for annual unrestricted giving for the year and sixth worldwide.  He also served as the District Breakfast Chair.  

In 2008-2009 Doug served as the Executive Aide for District 5280 Governor Charles Anderson.  

He is a Southern California native, born, raised and educated all within a 25 mile area! 

Doug is President of Meridian Capital Management, an Investment Advisory and Management firm.   Doug and his bride, Connie, live in Seal Beach.  He enjoys tennis, reading, travel and the company of friends.  His most meaningful Rotary moment was the 96 hours they and their daughter, Kelly, spent in El Salvador during a wheelchair distribution event.  It underscored that indeed we enhance our own lives by making a difference to others, either next door or in another country, one person to another.  

Doug Baker is proud to be your District Governor for 2010-2011, the year we will Build Communities and Bridge Continents together.  

Please welcome our District Governor, Doug Baker, the #1 Generator.
