Rotary is not just about Tuesday lunch!

Members from diverse businesses and professions are welcomed into Rotary. This makes for a very broad knowledge and experience base within Rotary and in service to the community. Different views, and different backgrounds add a wonderful richness to all of the club activities and provide many opportunities for each individual member to learn from one another.
As part of membership,it is an expectation that new members will do a “classification talk” Members look forward to and enjoy hearing their fellow Rotarians tell about their families, their jobs and their community involvement.
Chris Skinner, Branch Manager of Picton’s Scotiabank, gave a warm and informative presentation.
Chris grew up in Belleville, attended Centennial High School, then earned a Commerce Degree and a Post Grad in Sociology from Western University in London. Both of Chris’s parents were bankers, so perhaps he was destined to follow this career path.
Chris and his scientist wife are both very involved with family and the community Chris coaches his sons’ Tyke hockey, is involved in School Council and numerous Scotiabank events — and Rotary!
Chris’s career at Scotiabank has provided him with many interesting opportunities in the areas of special projects, technology evolution and travel.
Chris loves living in the Quinte Region and his work at Scotiabank. He encourages young people to consider a career in banking as the demographics show that there will be many exciting opportunities in the future as senior executives reach the time for retirement.
Great talk Chris, and wonderful to have you in the club.
