Periodically we feature a newer member of the Rotary Club of Edina on our website. The Rotary Club of Edina welcomed Kenny Smith as a member in September 2015. Kenny's sponsor to the club was Joe Christensen. Click on the link to learn more about Kenny...
 
Name: Kenny Smith
 
Classification: Attorney
 
What was your first job? Edina Sun-Current delivery boy
 
Who was your first role model and why? It would have to be my dad. He always had time for our family and he played a very active role in our lives growing up. He also taught us how to work smart, leading by example as a hard-working and successful entrepreneur.
 
Why did you want to join Rotary? I recently moved back to the area and started a new job so I wanted to get active right away and get to know my fellow community members. I’m also a former Rotarian from a different club and had great experiences with it.
 
What do you like best about being part of the Rotary Club of Edina? It’s been so easy to meet different people and I’ve felt welcomed from the first day I visited the club. I’ve been impressed with how proactive the members are of getting to know the guests and new members and making them feel at home.
 
What one piece of advice do you offer other business leaders? Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.
 
We are happy to have you as part of the No. 1 Club in the Universe, Kenny!
