The Monteagle Sewanee Rotary Club has selected Haynes Roberts as its president for the 2015–16 year. Roberts, a Sewanee alumnus class of 2000, is the senior director of annual giving at the University. Previously he worked as a counselor with admissions at Sewanee, and he was a political consultant in Washington, D.C. He also lived and worked in Atlanta as a private wealth manager for Credit Suisse. He and his wife, Megan, live in Sewanee with their two daughters.
As incoming president, Roberts said he hopes to see growth and enhanced community partnerships, particularly with the Rotary Club’s two new service initiatives: the Cajun Supper which helps to fund the University’s work in Haiti, and the Hunger Awareness Walk, which benefits the local food banks at Otey Parish’s Community Action Committee and Morton Memorial Methodist Church.
Roberts said he joined Rotary because several influential people in his life are Rotarians; specifically, he credits John Bratton with his decision to join the club. He said that he appreciates that Rotary is a way to meet and work with people of the community that he might not ordinarily know.
