Rotary Club of Grand Cayman officially welcomed its 2026-2027 board following the club’s annual leadership transition, ushering in a new Rotary year focused on service, community impact and leadership development across the Cayman Islands and the wider region.

Led by President Dale Crowley, the new board brings together a distinguished group of respected business and community leaders committed to advancing Rotary’s mission locally and internationally, while continuing the club’s longstanding tradition of ‘Service Above Self’.
