District Leadership

Tom Boylan, District Governor 2023-2024

Since joining Rotary in 1998, Tom has been active in Club roles, including serving as the 2009-2010 Windsor Rotary Club President. In 2008 he was asked to perform public relations tasks for then-District Governor Ken Moulton and went on to serve more than nine years as the District Public Relations Chair and became the District Webmaster in 2011.

Tom served as an Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinator from 2013 through 2021. As a Zone 26 & 27 Communications team member, he had the opportunity to share the importance of rebranding our organization to Rotarians throughout the Western US. He stepped down from the Zone team in 2001 when he was selected to serve as the 2023-2024 District Governor for our District.

DG Boylan owns The Boylan Point Agency in Santa Rosa, California. The company offers digital and traditional marketing to various businesses and organizations, including Rotary. Tom created the agency in 1997, the same year he visited his first Rotary club.

Past professional experiences include a brief run as a music producer and co-owner of a Northern California recording studio, Marketing Manager for a Northern California newspaper, and working with radio in sales and creative development of commercials. As a former contract writer and editor for several New York Times-owned publications, including The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa, it is no wonder his Rotary passion focuses on literacy and education.

Tom and his wife, Melody Montero, live in Windsor, California. They have two sons, Brendan, a High School math teacher with two children, and Sean, who has taken the role of Creative Director for  Boylan Point Agency. 

Jim O’Grady, District Governor Elect  2024-2025

Jim O’Grady is a former educator and business owner and lives in Sonoma County with his wife Joanne. Jim and Joanne have 3 grown children, a lovely granddaughter, and another grandchild on the way. He was invited to join Rotary 17 years ago and since then he and his wife have enjoyed the friendship and community activities that Rotary has to offer. Jim has been president of his club, Petaluma Valley, twice, and loved every minute of both tenures. He enjoys taking an active interest in club programs and projects both within the community and around
the world. In his spare time, Jim enjoys traveling and playing the accordion as well as spending time with family and friends.
Jim believes in, “Will it Build Better Friendships?” taken from the Four-Way Test. Not just the friends we make with other Rotarians, but the many friends in our community, especially those we have served: the faculty and children at the schools we help, the homeless families at COTS where we do several projects each year; or even the giving out of dictionaries creates new friendships; and the many friends we have created in our club’s work in Uganda and other areas around the world. These are a few of the activities Rotarians do that create lasting friendships and bring about a better world.

Kristine Redko, District Governor Nominee 2025-2026

Kristine has been a Rotarian since 2007 when she was a founding member of the Rotary Club of Rancho Cotati in District 5130. Since then, she has served as President twice, Secretary, Vocational Chair, Club Service Chair, Youth Exchange Host Parent, District Public Image Chair, and she helped found a second Rotary Club during COVID – the Rotary Club of Sonoma Mountain Twilight. Her claim to fame is that on July 30, 2010 – during her first Presidential term – she gave birth to her twins and led Rancho Cotati to Small Club of the Year for 2010-11. Roman and Katya are now 12, and she considers them her favorite “Junior Rotarians.”

Married for 21 years to Dr. Peter Redko, a Podiatrist in Petaluma, CA. Kristine is a Strategic Account Manager for Equifax Workforce Solutions and has degrees from Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins. Their twins are in 7th grade, and she’s proud to say that they have excellent grades and actively participate in band, soccer (Roman), and ice skating (Katya). Kristine also has a side hustle as the lead singer in a local rock band, The Pickled Beats.

Rotary has been like a second family to Kristine, especially after she moved to CA from NYC with her husband and didn’t know anyone. She found a new best friend and instantly bonded with a passionate group of amazing volunteers and individuals from all walks of life. She is truly honored to be 5130 District Governor in 2025-2026 where her District Theme will be “Rotary: The Playlist in our Hearts.”
