DISTRICT GOVERNOR 2026-27
Chuck Shonkwiler grew up in Greenfield, a small city in South Central Ohio. The oldest of 3 children, Chuck recalls life in Greenville being quite simple in the 50s and 60s, enjoying family times on Rocky Fork Lake, in Highland County, Ohio, and family camping trips across the United States. He graduated from Edward Lee McClain High School in 1971 and left for Annapolis, Maryland, and the United States Naval Academy just three weeks after graduation. For the next sixteen months, he attended daily drills, cruised across the Atlantic Ocean, and trained to be a Naval Officer. In the early fall of 1972, Chuck left the Naval Academy to pursue a career as a Pastor.
He attended Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Kentucky, where he graduated with a BA in History with a minor in Mathematics in 1976. During his Senior year, he served as Vice President of the Student Government Association. Besides the course work and Student Government activities, he also served as Pastor and Youth Pastor in churches near school. In the late summer of 1977, Chuck began his Theological studies at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. While there, he also served as a part-time Pastor in Southern Ohio. Chuck graduated with a Master of Divinity in May 1980. After college, he served in various churches in North, Central, and Southern Ohio from 1980 to 2021 as a United Methodist Pastor.
Chuck met Karen Loveless during college orientation in 1973. Their romance moved quickly, and they were married March 9, 1974. After completing his degree, Chuck worked in the Admissions Office while Karen finished her degree in Music Education, graduating in 1977. As the father of three, grandfather of nine, and great-grandfather of one, Chuck appreciates and enjoys family. He and Karen have three children; Sarah Dawley of Edmond, Oklahoma, Joel Shonkwiler, of Westfield, Indiana, and Hannah Scruggs of Fairborn, Ohio. Sarah has four children, Joel has three, and Hannah has two. Sarah’s oldest, Annabelle, is the mother of Chuck and Karen’s great-granddaughter.
Chuck has been involved in Rotary since October 1997, beginning with the Rotary Club of Fairborn. After moving to Hillsboro, Ohio in July 2003, he became a part of the Rotary Club of Hillsboro. The next move in 2010 brought a change to the Rotary Club of Blanchester. Unfortunately, the Blanchester Club could not continue, so having bought a retirement home in Fairborn, Chuck returned to the Fairborn Club in the summer of 2018. Since becoming a part of Rotary, Chuck has grown to appreciate many of the benefits provided by participating in Rotary Clubs and District Rotary activities. Serving as President of Blanchester, a small club, allowed for learning more about the activities and benefits of participating in Rotary International activities. After returning to Fairborn, being allowed to be President of a thriving Rotary Club added even more commitment to serving Rotary in every way possible.
Becoming a District Assistant Governor in 2023, Chuck enjoys being able to provide resources to his four assigned Clubs and to continue his learning about the benefits of serving as a Rotarian. He looks forward to learning even more ways to serve Rotary
DISTRICT GOVERNOR 2027-28
Beth Huber has had the opportunity to learn and serve and play with the Wilmington Rotary Club for over 20 years. Within a few years after joining the club she was Secretary and then was President of the Club in 2009-2010. Falling absolutely in love with the PETs event and her “class” of Presidents, she followed her year as President with some time as a Facilitator at PETs and then as an Assistant Governor. Finding the District Leadership team fun and engaging, she explored different District events and began working with the District 6670 4 Way Test Speech contest. She has now chaired that District Committee for 10 years and served as an Assistant Governor in two stints for eight years.
Strengthening her connections with District Rotarians, Beth has attended the District Conference annually, as well as other district dinners and events. She attended Rotary International Conferences in Atlanta and Toronto. In 2018 she had the opportunity to go with a group of Rotarians from Ohio and around the world to India on a Polio Immunization trip (and highly recommends it to others!).
Beth came to Wilmington to attend Wilmington College. Shortly after graduation she began her career with Airborne Express/ABX Air, where she worked with Communications, Community Relations and Marketing until the company reorganized in 2009. She also ran a tour program showcasing the overnight sort operations for several years. In 2010, she joined the staff of the Clinton County Port Authority where she is now the Chief Operating Officer. The Wilmington Air Park, where she had spent the last 30+years, was donated to the Port Authority and she was part of the team to reimagine it and ensure its continued viability as the largest regional job center. Today her work involves a variety of tasks including airport administration, economic development, contract management, community relations and more. The Wilmington Air Park is the highest volume cargo airport in Ohio and 23rd in the U.S., and home to 15 businesses and over 4,000 employees.
While working at ABX Air, Beth earned her MS in Aeronautical Science with concentrations in Adult Education and Airport Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. She was a member of the Leadership Clinton Class of 1999 and later a member of the Board. With her co-worker, she was recognized by the Cincinnati PRSA with a Bronze Anvil Award. Since joining the Clinton County Port Authority, she has earned accreditation as an Ohio Certified Economic Development professional and has served as a mentor to successive classes.
Beth learned about community service from her parents who were always involved in continuing learning and community events. She has two sons, Christopher (a Zanesville Rotarian) and Daniel (Beavercreek) and they have built wonderful families, bringing two daughters-in-law (Amanda and Erika) and four grandchildren into her life.
Beth is excited to learn as much as she can as she advances on her Rotary journey in this new role as District Governor Nominee Designate and is looking forward the next several years working with District 6670 club members and leaders.
