Herb Ritter, Rotary District 5170 Governor 2025-26

Herb Ritter, Rotary District 5170 Governor 2025-26 Official page for the Herb Ritter, Rotary Past District 5170 Governor 2025-26 In 1990 I moved into the Hacienda Apartments in Pleasanton.

I graduated from Washington State University in 1987 with a BSEE Degree and started working at Square D/Schneider Electric in Stockton, CA. While working, I completed my MBA from Saint Mary’s College and progressed through the corporate ranks of Schneider Electric. I met my wife, Cathy Campbell Ritter, who grew up in Pleasanton and we were married in 1994. We have two children currently attending

Foothill High School and Arizona State University. I also manage the Ritter Family Real Estate Holdings which owns a number of commercial properties in the Northwest and Tahoe. We own and operate a vacation rental business which has properties in Lake Tahoe, CA; Coeur d’Alene, ID; and Tempe, AZ. I have been very active and involved in many charitable and community organizations in Pleasanton. Being an active member of Pleasanton North Rotary since 1991, as a past President, past Foundation President, and past Assistant Governor, I was able to work with many outstanding individuals doing the work of Rotary placing “service above self”. In 2006 I started my involvement with the City of Pleasanton when I was appointed to the Trails Ad Hoc Committee, and then in 2008 was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission. After six years of service I am currently the Chair of the Planning Commission in the City of Pleasanton. I have enjoyed working with and meeting many of the very smart people of Pleasanton who help keep our community the city of planned progress.

🔥 What a GREAT Rotary experience in Arizona! 🌵☀️

Another fantastic Rotary Zones 26 & 27 Institute — better known to some of us as Wigwam! 😎

So much energy, laughter, friendship, learning, and inspiration packed into a few incredible days. Best of all—being surrounded by a whole bunch of positively “mentally ill” Rotarians 🤪🤣 who just can’t stop dreaming up ways to make the world better!

❤️ Positive people.
💡 Positive ideas.
💪 Positive action.
🎯 Positive purpose.

That’s what Rotary is all about—good people having fun while Doing Good in the World!

Grateful for the friendships, the laughs, and the reminder that when passionate Rotarians get together… anything is possible! 🌎⚙️❤️

Great advice when choosing Rotary leaders. The highest performers are not always the best ones.

Just reminiscing about my District Governor days! 💙💛

What an incredible ride—so many miles, meetings, laughs, celebrations, handshakes, hugs…and probably a few too many Rotary meals! 😂🍽️

But what I remember most are the amazing people I had the opportunity to meet along the way. Rotary truly brings together people with big hearts who want to make a difference in their communities and around the world. 🌎❤️

I’m grateful for the friendships, the memories, and all the fun we had along the way.

Once a Governor…always a Rotarian! 😎⚙️

What a fantastic conversation about your Rotary journey and experiences. And congratulations again on receiving the “Service Above Self” Award in Hungary—what an incredible and well-deserved honor! 🎉🌍⚙️

With Past President Rushton and President Maxi, you’ve connected with some amazing leaders and a fantastic Rotary club!

Please keep in touch, and thank you for everything you do for Rotary and for living Service Above Self! 💙💛
