Congratulations to Sean Hart on taking the reins as the new President of the Smyrna Rotary Club.
Sean Hart brings a strong record of leadership, professionalism, and dedication to the banking industry, qualities that will serve the Rotary well in the year ahead. Since June 2019, he has served as Senior Vice President/Senior Lender at Southern Bank of Tennessee, where his experience and steady judgment have supported businesses, families, and community growth across the region.
Hart’s career reflects a long and consistent commitment to serving others through sound financial leadership. Before joining Southern Bank of Tennessee, Hart served as Senior Vice President/Chief Credit Officer and Senior Vice President-Regional Lender at Community Bank & Trust from February 2017 to June 2019. He also held leadership roles as Senior Commercial Lender and City President-Murfreesboro at Southern Community Bank from January 2013 to February 2017. Earlier in his career, he served as Special Assets Manager at Community First Bank & Trust and Commercial Real Estate Lender at American Security Bank and Trust.
That kind of progressive experience in lending, credit management, and community banking speaks well of the leadership he now brings to Rotary. Organizations like Smyrna Rotary thrive when guided by people who understand both service and responsibility, and Sean Hart’s background reflects both.
A graduate of John Overton High School, Hart has built a career marked by hard work, trust, and advancement through the ranks. Those same qualities will no doubt help him lead with purpose as he helps guide the club’s service, fellowship, and community impact.
“Sean Hart is a great Rotarian. I have full confidence in him as he leads Smyrna Rotary for the next year, both with the Wings of Freedom Fish Fry and general club administrative matters.” Rep. Robert Stevens—Tennessee House District 13
We congratulate Sean Hart and wish him every success as he leads Smyrna Rotary Club into this new season of service.
About Rotary
Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.
Over time, Rotary’s reach and vision gradually extended to humanitarian service. Members have a long track record of addressing challenges in their communities and around the world.
“Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves.”
Paul Harris
Rotary founder
Our ongoing commitment
That commitment endures today through an organization that remains truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Our members now span the globe, working to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems.
We’re not afraid to dream big and set bold goals. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, polio remains endemic in only two countries — down from 125 in 1988.
Still making history
With every project, we’re changing the world for the better. The following stories trace our evolution as an organization through historical documents, artifacts, and images that show the people and events that shaped Rotary.
-
Rotary’s two official mottoes
Service Above Self and One Profits Most Who Serves Best can be traced back to the early days of the organization.

The roots of Rotary’s polio eradication efforts
In 1979, Rotary began a project to immunize six million children against polio in the Philippines. The effort’s success led to Rotary making polio eradication its top priority.

The start of Rotary in South America
Rotary’s global expansion began early. The chartering of the Rotary Club of Montevideo, Uruguay, in February 1919 brought Rotary to South America.
