Periodically we feature a newer member of the Rotary Club of Edina on our website. The Rotary Club of Edina welcomed Renee Harberts as a member in October 2015. Renee's sponsor to the club was Ann Platt. Click on the link to get to know Renee...
 
Name: Renee Harberts
 
Classification: Financial Planning
 
What was your first job? Secretary to the County Attorney
 
Who was your first role model and why? My Aunt Esther (who lived to be 94).  She was genuine, smart, independent and loving. She had a way of making everyone she knew feel special. She was the special one.
 
Why did you want to join Rotary? It’s an efficient use of time. It’s a great way to meet new people, interact with business professionals, get involved in my community and give back all at the same time.
 
What do you like best about being part of the Rotary Club of Edina? The wide range of projects to get involved with.
 
What one piece of advice do you offer other business leaders? Be flexible. Be strong enough to bend. Palm trees survive hurricanes when other more stately tress don’t, because they can bend to ground.
 
Thanks for your involvement with the Rotary Club of Edina, Renee!
