Last December, the Lander Rotary Club amended its Bylaws to establish corporate memberships, a new membership category, and we are happy to welcome our first corporate members! A business or corporate member designates a "primary member" as its Rotarian member and may designate two alternate members to attend our meetings and participate in our service projects. of Our first three corporate members are:
Leadership Wyoming: Tobey Schmidt grew up in Indiana before heading west to earn a journalism degree at the University of Arizona.
Her passions for outdoor adventures and photography took her to Alaska for a few summers, and she eventually made her way to Lander
to work for Hermann Global. Now, years later, she proudly works for Leadership Wyoming and is the Board chair for the Lander Valley
Farmers Market. In her free time, she loves to sew leather bags for her small business, Wyoming Bag Company.
And...she’s getting married this fall!

enjoying the 4th of July activities, and sending her two kids to camp at every opportunity. She and her husband and two children, students
at Lander Valley High School, moved here 3 1/2 years ago. As a Rotarian, Jayme is looking forward to being engaged in more community
outreach, service work, and connection to the Lander community.her husband and two children, students at Lander Valley High School,
