Peter was the Dean of this cadre of Rotary partnerships so can speak from experience as well as just simply being a great speaker.

After a career in private legal practice in New Zealand he returned to the US in 1992 to take up a position with the World Bank as a senior international attorney. He retired from this position in 2009.
He was inducted into Rotary in 1976 and is a member of the Rotary Club of Capitol Hill Washington, DC. Peter has since served the organization in many capacities. He has been particularly involved in alumni/Rotary Peace Fellow activities and has chaired both the Alumni Relations and Rotary Peace Centers Committees. He has also served as an International Assembly Trainer, COL Delegate, RI President’s Representative, a RFHA board member and a WASRAG Board member. He served as the Dean of the Rotary Representative Network (United Nations, UNESCO, World Bank and more) and became an RI Director for 2020-22 in Zones 33 & 34.
Peter currently serves on the RI Executive Committee. Peter has received the Global Alumni Service to Humanity Award together with the Service above Self Award and the Citation for Meritorious Service. He and his wife, Margaret, live on the West River in Maryland in a home designed by Margaret and close to their two children and one grandson.
