Speakers

Each year, our Mayor, Donna Dodgen, graciously provides an update to what is happening in the City of Seguin. As Rotarians committed to service, knowing what is happening in our community directly impacts our ability to meet the needs of those around us. Please join us for an informative day with the always brilliant, Donna Dodgen.

She will also offer a broader look at the role of an ombudsman in higher education, explaining how these offices foster trust, fairness, and healthy organizational culture while remaining independent of formal grievance processes. Join us to learn how this unique profession helps strengthen colleges and universities through conflict resolution and collaborative problem-solving.
