JUDY ZULFIQAR ROTARY CLUB TEMECULA PRESIDENT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Born in New Mexico and raised on a
farm in the ‘Show Me’ state - Missouri,
Judy’s common-sense leadership style
will help Rotary continue to provide
Service Above Self. Judy’s upbringing
has provided her tenacity, innovation,
strategy and adaptation. Immediately
after high school, she ventured to California
and juggled school and work as a
911 operator. “Working in the emergency
response profession taught me to think
quickly and be decisive - skills that are
critically important today,” said Judy.
“The COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest
and current economic conditions were
unexpected and require us to think differently
while still serving our community.
Along with my Board and Club members,
we are doing just that.”
