Tina Philpot's dedication
to our Rotary Club and the wider community shines brightly. Since joining in
2002, sponsored by Fred Bounds, Tina has embodied the spirit of "Service
Above Self." Her favorite Rotary activity? Simply attending our weekly
meetings, a testament to her genuine enjoyment of fellowship and connection.
Tina's professional journey is equally impressive. Starting part-time at
Georgia Perimeter College in 1979, she ascended to Department Chair and Dean of
the College of Business, culminating in five years of crucial work during the
college's merger with Georgia State University. Retiring in 2020, her legacy in
education remains profound.
A past club president (2016-2017), Tina's leadership has been invaluable. She's
also a committed member of the Chamber of Commerce, representing both the
university and our Rotary Club, and advocating for strong community ties. Her
vision for our club is to be deeply integrated into the local landscape.
Beyond Rotary and professional life, Tina's roots run deep in Dunwoody where
she has lived for the past 49 years. A member of Dunwoody United Methodist
Church since 1979, she found more than a spiritual home; it's where she met her
husband of 37 years in a singles group. Tina's consistent presence and
commitment make her a true asset to our club.
