Lunch Meeting: Visit with District Governor Sharon Bloodworth

Sharon is our District Governor for Rotary year 2024 to 2025 and her home club is Minneapolis

Rotary Club #9. She celebrates her 21st anniversary in Rotary this year!

Sharon owns one of the largest private investment firms wholly owned by a woman in

Minnesota and Florida. She says she attributes much of this success to Rotary. This is where

she learned her public speaking and leadership skills, and her fellow Rotarians mentored her

and welcomed her into this community. She is committed to giving back to Rotary. In 2023 she

completed the largest ever fundraiser for our Rotary District – raising $3 million on top of the

usual annual $1 million as District Foundation Chair.

For fun she coaches the top 150 women in global tennis on financial behaviors. She is a five-

time Minnesota State Fair blue ribbon winning flower arranger and she collects shoes of very

famous women including Margaret Thatcher and Audrey Hepburn.
