Speakers: Donna Hood Program Title: District Governor 2026-202 7 Rotary District 5470 Some people build successful businesses. Others dev ote themselves to serving their communities. A rare few dedicate their liv es to doing both while inspiring others along the way. Donna L. Hood is on e of those people. Raised with a strong work ethic and an unwavering belie f that leadership is measured by service\, Donna began her professional jo urney in the sciences. After graduating Cum Laude from Harcum College with an Associate Degree in Medical Technology\, she earned a Bachelor of Scie nce in Biology from Villanova University. In 1982\, Donna helped launch Ja ckson ImmunoResearch Laboratories\, Inc.\, helping grow the company from f ive employees into an internationally respected biotechnology leader while serving in positions ranging from laboratory technician to Chief Financia l Officer. Today\, her husband Ralph continues to oversee the laboratory's operations on the East Coast while Donna has devoted herself to new chapt ers of leadership and service. Following a visit to Colorado's Wet Mountai n Valley\, Donna and Ralph purchased what became A Painted View Ranch. Sin ce retiring in 2008\, Donna has spent twenty-two years building and managi ng the ranch into one of Colorado's premier working horse ranches and even t venues. Her love of Western heritage led her to become a preservation br eeder of the Nokota® horse and a leader within the Nokota Horse Conservan cy. As she prepared to serve as District Governor\, Donna made the heartfe lt decision to donate her Nokota horses back to the Conservancy\, ensuring their valuable bloodlines would continue to be preserved for future gener ations. Recognizing the demands of leading Rotary District 5470\, Donna al so made the difficult decision to place A Painted View Ranch on the market . Over the past nine months she prepared the ranch for its next chapter\, choosing to simplify her responsibilities so she could devote her full att ention\, energy\, and heart to serving the clubs and communities of Distri ct 5470 during her Governor year. Donna's Rotary journey has included serv ice as Club President\, Assistant Governor\, District Treasurer\, Foundati on leader\, Action Plan Champion\, and numerous district leadership roles. She now has the privilege of serving as District Governor of Rotary Distr ict 5470\, where she is committed to strengthening clubs\, developing lead ers\, expanding Rotary's reach\, telling Rotary's story\, and creating las ting impact throughout southern and western Colorado. She represented Rota ry internationally at the 2026 Rotary International Convention in Taipei\, Taiwan\, where she experienced firsthand the fellowship that unites more than one million Rotarians around the world. Throughout every chapter of h er life—from biotechnology executive\, to ranch owner\, to preservation breeder\, to District Governor—the common thread has remained the same: building\, preserving\, and leaving every organization stronger than she f ound it. Some leaders are remembered for the offices they held. Others are remembered for the lives they touched. Donna hopes she will simply be rem embered as someone who cared deeply\, led with integrity\, welcomed everyo ne with kindness\, and always tried to leave every person\, every organiza tion\, and every community just a little better than she found it.
