2026-27 District Governor Brady Connell's Inaugural Message
Welcome to Rotary District 5280 – Greater Los Angeles.
 
Whether you are a Rotarian, a future member, or simply someone interested in learning more about Rotary, we’re glad you’re here.
 
Rotary is a global community of people who come together to serve, build connections, and create positive change. Every day, Rotarians across Greater Los Angeles and around the world are working to strengthen communities, support those in need, and make a lasting impact.
 
It is my honor to serve as District Governor alongside the incredible Rotarians of District 5280. I am continually inspired by their generosity, compassion, and commitment to service. Their work reminds us that when people unite with a shared purpose, extraordinary things are possible.

2026 FOUNDATION CELEBRATION
COLOMBIA EARTHQUAKE DISASTER RELIEF
 
Our thoughts are with all those affected by the catastrophic 7.4-magnitude earthquake in western Colombia, which has caused widespread structural devastation, severe infrastructure disruptions, and a rising casualty toll across the region.
 
Rotary District 5280 is mobilizing support for communities affected by this disaster — with a personal connection close to home. LA Colombo-Americano, a District 5280 Rotary club with deep roots in both Colombian and Colombian American communities, is helping lead the LA-based fundraising effort, joined by other area clubs. For many of its members, this response is deeply personal.
 

How You Can Help:

Rotarians, Rotary clubs, and friends of Rotary who would like to support the Colombia earthquake response are invited to contribute through the Rotary District 5280 Charitable Foundation.

100% of donations designated for the Colombia Earthquake Relief Fund will go directly to partner Rotary Districts in Colombia, who will determine how funds are directed to support relief efforts in affected communities.
 
As needs and response priorities become clearer, District 5280 will provide updates on how funds are being deployed and the communities being assisted.
 
Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and commitment to helping communities in need.
 

Gratefully,

District 5280 Disaster Response Committee
