About Us

About the rotary club of des moines am

The Rotary Club of Des Moines AM or DMAM was founded in 1991 and is the largest Rotary Club in Iowa. We are part of Rotary International, a nonprofit global service organization, one of the largest in the world. We are friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who envision a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. 

Our mission is to serve others while promoting high ethical standards, goodwill, peace, and understanding by engaging with business and professional leaders. While our primary focus is “service above self,” DMAM also likes to have a lot of fun! We meet weekly and our Friday morning meetings are always full of energy, friendship, and laughter.

DMAM Culture

DMAM Rotary brings together people who are committed to service, leadership, and making a lasting difference in our community. What inspires me most is the dedication of our members to living Rotary’s motto, Service Above Self, through meaningful action and genuine connection. I am honored to serve as President and proud of the positive impact we create together in Des Moines and beyond.”

DMAM President Mary Hunter

DMAM Culture

  The culture of our Club isn’t defined by titles or efficiently run meetings –it’s defined by showing up for our community, leading with integrity, rolling up our sleeves when there is work to be done, and occasionally laughing at ourselves along the way. Our motto, “Service Above Self,” is about leaving people and our community better than we found them, regardless of circumstance. That is how we measure success.”
