Jennifer Jones made history as the first woman to serve as President of Rotary International (2022–23). A visionary leader and master storyteller, Jennifer is currently a Trustee of The Rotary Foundation and is currently Chair-elect of the Foundation.

As the founder and president of Media Street Productions, an award-winning media company in Windsor, Ontario, Jennifer leverages over 25 years of professional expertise to advocate for global change. During her presidency, her theme—Imagine Rotary—challenged members to dream big and take action on the world's most pressing issues, from peacebuilding to environmental sustainability.

A champion of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Jennifer has been instrumental in modernising Rotary’s culture to attract younger, more diverse members. Her leadership extends deep into the humanitarian sector; she previously co-chaired the "End Polio Now: Make History Today" campaign, raising critical funds in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Beyond Rotary, Jennifer has served as Chair of the Board of Governors at the University of Windsor and Chair of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce. She is a recipient of the Service Above Self Award and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and holds a Doctor of Laws (LL.D.). Known for her warmth and ability to connect with audiences of all sizes, Jennifer continues to travel globally to inspire collective action and "service above self."
