R. Gordon R. McInally
2023-24 Rotary International President
Rotary Club of South Queensferry

West Lothian, Scotland

R. Gordon R. McInally is president-elect of Rotary International. He was educated at the
Royal High School in Edinburgh and at the University of Dundee, where he earned his
graduate degree in dental surgery. He operated his own dental practice in Edinburgh until
2016. Gordon was chair of the East of Scotland branch of the British Paedodontic Society
and has held various academic positions. He has also served as a presbytery elder, chair of
the Queensferry parish congregational board, and commissioner to the general assembly
of the Church of Scotland.

Gordon joined Rotary in 1984 at age 26. A member of the Rotary Club of South Queensfer-
ry, he has served as president and vice president of Rotary International in Great Britain
and Ireland (RIBI). He has also served RI as a director and on several committees, includ-
ing as an adviser to the 2022 Houston Convention Committee and chair of the Operations
Review Committee.

Gordon says he looks forward to working with members to build new Rotary clubs and
groups. “My vision is that Rotary should exist everywhere in a style to suit everyone who
has the desire to be part of us and to help us do good in the world,” he says.

Gordon is a patron of the UK-based nonprofit Hope and Homes for Children and led a part-
nership between that organization and RIBI to support children in Rwanda who had been
orphaned in the genocide there. He is a patron of Trade-Aid, an initiative of the Rotary
Club of Grantham Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England, that provides sustainable humanitar-
ian aid to individuals, families, and businesses in the developing world. He is also an am-
bassador for Bipolar UK, a national mental health organization.

In his free time, Gordon enjoys rugby, good food and wine, and stick dressing, the tradi-
tional Scottish craft of making walking sticks.

Gordon describes The Rotary Foundation as “the fuel that provides the energy to do Ro-
tary service.” He and his spouse, Heather, also a Rotarian, are Paul Harris Fellows, Major
Donors, and Benefactors of The Rotary Foundation. They are also members of the Bequest
Society.

Gordon wishes to dedicate his presidency to making the world a better place for his grand-
daughters, Ivy and Florence, to live and thrive.
