Faith Hornby

President 2025/2026

Faith Hornby, the President of the Rotary Club of Lakeport, is a passionate community advocate and dedicated professional committed to service and positive change. Originally from England, Faith moved to Lake County as a child and has since devoted herself to making a meaningful impact locally. She is the Philanthropy Leader at Adventist Health Clear Lake, where she helps foster community health and well-being. Faith earned her Master’s in Health Administration Services from Chico State and combines her education with hands-on experience, including working at One Safe Place, Northern California’s largest domestic violence shelter, and serving as the Executive Director of Hope Rising during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her early involvement in community service includes serving as Miss Lake County at age 16, with a platform dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer initiatives.

Faith’s commitment to Rotary stems from her belief in the power of volunteerism and community engagement, reflecting the Rotary motto: “Service Above Self.” She plans to address pressing issues such as food insecurity and increased volunteerism within Lake County. With statistics indicating that nearly 1 in 8 people in the U.S. experience food insecurity and that volunteer rates have dropped by over 20% during recent years, Faith recognizes the crucial role Rotary can play in strengthening community support systems. She is passionate about inspiring others to volunteer and make a tangible difference, whether through local projects or broader initiatives. Outside of her professional life, Faith is dedicated to her health, rescuing animals, and giving back. Fun fact, Faith is also planning her wedding during her term as rotary president!  She hopes to promote kindness to others and to spread joy through her leadership in Rotary.
