The Friendly Breakfast Club

This Week's Speaker
Chip Stewart, U.S. Army Veteran - Veterans Day Program

Join us this Friday at Maggiano's to celebrate our veterans. Our speaker is Chip Stewart, a U.S. Army veteran who served 23 years on active duty and a Project Manager in Operations Excellence for DHL Supply Chain North America.

He leads the company’s North American Veterans Alliance, drawing on his military leadership experience and extensive background in operations, technology, continuous improvement, and complex supply chain project delivery. A graduate of the United States Military Academy and the Georgia Institute of Technology, Chip has helped guide the Veterans Alliance’s evolution from its origins as a Veterans Employee Resource Group into a structured, regionally supported organization focused on informing, involving, and inspiring veterans, military-connected employees, and allies. Under his leadership, the Veterans Alliance has strengthened its governance, expanded veteran outreach, supported military internship initiatives, developed regional engagement networks, and created opportunities for veterans to connect, contribute, and grow. Chip is passionate about translating military experience into organizational value and building practical support systems that help veterans successfully transition, belong, and thrive in the civilian workplace.

Chip is the son of Dunwoody Rotary's George and Amy Stewart.

SMILE!

Each week, Bob O’Brien buzzes around the room taking photos during the Rotary meeting to capture all the energy and highlight our active members. Once the photos are snapped, Mark Galvin pairs them with the meeting recap so our club's updates can be published to Facebook and LinkedIn that morning.

To help our club put its best foot forward online, Bob is fine-tuning his approach to focus on more composed, intentional photos. His goal is to make sure everyone looks their absolute best—avoiding awkward mid-bite shots, blinks, or members caught looking down at their phones.

When you see Bob coming your way with the camera, be sure to give him your best smile! Let’s show our community the very best of our club.
