 We are all acquainted with Hank Ebert since he's been an "unofficial" member of club for several years. Now he's transferring his Rotary membership from the Rotary Club of the West e-club to Boise Metro! Hank is a real "Citizen of the world", as he likes to describe himself. He was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. His dad was a US Foreign Service Office so after the age of 5 Hank lived in seven different countries. He's also lived in seven states and the District of Columbia. Hank enrolled in University of Idaho in 1973, earned a Bachelors at Rutgers University in 1979 and a Masters in Public Administration from Boise State in 2003. He settled in the Boise area in 1991 when he took a job with a no longer existing Federal Agency to research options regarding the long term storage of spent nuclear fuel. He worked at that for 20 years and admits his disappointment at the lack of progress. He also spent many years working for the Idaho Department of Commerce in Economic Development. Hank is currently employed at BSU in the area of Employee Relations and Career Services. His task is to find internships and career opportunities for BSU students and graduates. Hank’s love affair with Rotary International began at an early age. His grandfather, Dr. Henry D. Guilbert, after whom Hank was named, co-founded several Rotary clubs in Honduras (District 5360). His grandfather was recognized as the World’s Oldest Living Rotarian. (He also wrote his clubs bulletin!) Hank and his wife Maione Carrijo have a grown daughter living in Phoenix. Hanks hobbies ate photography and bird watching. Regretfully, Hank has no pets.  Welcome to Boise Metro, Hank! |
