Congratulations to Steve Carlson

Steve Carlson was honored in June 2026 at the Rotary International Convention in Taipei, Taiwan, as a recipient of Rotary International’s prestigious “Service Above Self Award”—the organization’s highest recognition for individual members. Each year, up to 150 Rotarians worldwide receive this distinguished honor for demonstrating exceptional humanitarian service and a sustained commitment to volunteerism that extends beyond the responsibilities of their local clubs. Nominated by their District Governors, recipients embody Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self” through their personal dedication to improving the lives of others. Steve’s selection for this award is a testament to his long-standing commitment to humanitarian service and the positive impact he has made both within Rotary and in the communities he serves.

Congratulations, Steve, on this well-deserved international recognition.
