Tim Harrison has been elected president of the Rotary Club of Claremont for 2014-15. The club is known for making many contributions to the Claremont community, including running one of the city’s largest charitable events, A Taste of Claremont.

Mr. Harrison who was born and raised in Claremont, is vice president and branch manager of Broadview Mortgage in Upland, and continues to be an active volunteer. He also serves as a board member for the Claremont Chamber of Commerce and University Terrace. He also has past involvement as a board member on the Claremont Community Foundation.

“When I joined Rotary I did so because I wanted to give back to the community that had given so much to me and to my business. What I was not aware of is that I would become part of an amazing group of 1.2 million people worldwide that not only give back to their local communities, but have a positive impact throughout the world. I am the first to admit I never expected that being a part of Rotary would be so rewarding personally,” he said.
