District Governor Bev Christy is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise in St George Utah and has been a Rotarian since 1998. After her retirement in 2010 from Westminster College as Director of the Career Resource Center, she left the Rotary Club of Sugar House and joined the Dixie Sunrise Club in 2013. Bev completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Utah and Masters of Arts from Westminster College.
She and her husband, Ed, have 3 children between them, Ryan, Brooke, and Colin, all living out of state. They also have 5 grandchildren and enjoy spending time with them whenever possible. Since retirement, Bev and Ed have enjoyed traveling and experiencing different cultures. They traveled to Cuba with the Hispanos-Latino Club in 2008 for a Rotary Humanitarian Trip to serve the Cuban People. While living in Grenada for 6 months, Bev became active in the Rotary Club of Grenada, assisting with their 14 Island District Conference in 2012. After returning to St. George, she proposed a partnership between the Dixie Sunrise and Grenada Rotary Clubs. This culminated in a joint Rotary vision project to assess and treat the needs of the people of Granada. Bev has also traveled to Mexico several times with the Murray Rotary Club, and most recently was Co-chair of the 2015 District Fiesta/Conference in Puerto Peñasco in June. This was a unique and meaningful International Service experience for over 750 Rotarians and families from Utah.
