2022 Float Ambassadors

Tom Gump is passionate about growing Rotary Membership through forming new and innovative Rotary, Rotaract and satellite clubs. He founded, among other clubs, the first ever Rotary Club to serve veterans and co-founded the world’s first Rotary club to end human trafficking. He helped form the Rotary Club of Network for Empowering Women and The Kaleidoscope Rotaract Club, to serve those with Autism and their families. He also helped form the Rotaract eClub for the Environment – the first ever cause-based, international, Rotaract eClub focusing on the environment. Tom is now helping form The Rotary Club of Minnesota Pride.

Tom was one of only 20 North American Rotary leaders selected by Rotary International Past President Mark Maloney and Rotary International Membership Staff to participate in a New Club Development Summit and was subsequently named as a Zone 29 Innovative Club Advocate. Tom is also one of only 500 Rotarians in the world to be named to The Membership Society for New Member Sponsors for bringing in more than 50 active members into his club, which puts him at the Gold Level of the Society.

Tom now inspires others around the world and helps them form their own new and innovative Rotary clubs. He speaks regularly on the topic of membership at Rotary club, district, multi-district and zone events and as a breakout panelist at Rotary International Virtual Conventions. He is on the PETS Alliance’s list of “Popular Speakers” and will be speaking at the 2022 International Assembly.

The North American Rotary magazine and other Rotary regional magazines have written about Tom and the new and innovative clubs he has formed and his membership techniques and published articles by him. Tom’s tips for attracting and retaining members and some of the clubs he has started have also been featured as part of cover stories.

Tom was the winner of this year’s “Zones 28 and 32 Individual Membership Innovation Award (2020-2021),” for promoting new cause-based clubs throughout North America.

Tom’s current favorite educational project is participating with The Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans, a club he formed, on its regular “Book Campaign to Enhance Literacy.” This month’s book drive netted 630 books, including over 250 books for children, over 100 books for teens and nearly 300 books for adults! Donations went to three local nonprofits (“Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People,” “Haven for Heroes” and “Every Third Saturday”) assisting veterans and low income individuals and families in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.
