Past District Governor, John Reyes has led the efforts in District 6630 in the area of youth protection and served as our legal counsel.  Our district has kept him busy and we are grateful for his commitment to designing and leading our Youth Protection policy to keep our district Rotarians and youth protected. He consistently looks out for the best interest of our district and the welfare of our clubs.

He is an Ohio native having been born in Steubenville.  He grew up in Stark County, graduating from Sandy Valley High School and completing his undergraduate work in political science at The University of Akron.  Thereafter, he attended and graduated from The Vanderbilt University School of Law in 1978.  He has practiced law in the fields of commercial litigation, products liability defense and public law with the law firm of Buckingham, Doolittle & Burroughs in Akron, Ohio. 

John is married to Linda, a Cleveland native, who, prior to retiring, was an infection control officer for Fairview Hospital, a part of the Cleveland Clinic Group.

John began his Rotary career in April of 1994 with the Rotary Club of Akron and has served in various capacities including 2019-2020 District Governor, Club President, a member of the Club’s Board of Directors, and a member of the Akron Rotary Foundation Board of Directors.  In addition, he has had the pleasure of serving as an Assistant Governor, a member of the District Finance Committee, a member of the District Grants Committee, the District Bylaws Committee, the District Nominating Committee and was Chair of the District GSE Team in 2012.
