Chris Justice
Rotary 7690 District Governor 2021-2022
Chris grew up in Wilmington, NC graduating from New Hanover High School.
After high school, he served in the Army for three years. Chris went on to earn
his Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the University of North
Carolina at Wilmington. He then earned his law degree from the University of
Baltimore and was admitted to the North Carolina State Bar in 1999. Chris and
his wife Stephanie live in Summerfield NC where they raise their five children,
three dogs, 15 chickens, and the cat. Stephanie is a real estate broker with the
Justice Group and runs a successful real estate business in the Triad area. Both
are very active in the community. The children have been bitten by the Rotary
bug and participate in service projects. Caley attended the Rotary Youth
Leadership Program in the summer of 2018 and Gavin attended in 2019.
Chris built his first law practice into a successful mid-sized firm practicing in multiple areas of law and
locations. In 2012, he sold his interest in that firm, then opening a smaller firm where he currently practices
law. The Justice Law Group primarily focuses on residential real estate closings and District Court matters.
Chris occasionally takes on larger profile civil and criminal cases. The smaller sized practice has given him
the ability to focus more on service related activities.
In 2008, Chris joined the Gate City Rotary Club. He has been the Sergeant at Arms, Club Administrator,
Club Secretary, Fundraiser Chair, Speaker Coordinator, and Club President. Gate City continued its Gold
Club streak during Chris’s year as President in 2016-2017. Chris has worked over the past few years to grow
and organize Gate City’s scholarship fund that will soon award its first $10,000 annual scholarship. He also
started Gate City’s Toys for Tots program that is run in coordination with the Club’s annual Christmas
breakfast. Chris continues to support many of Gate City’s projects as well as other projects championed by
the members of Gate City.
Community involvement has always been a family focus. Chris is a founding member of a group that started
a school for children with Autism in Greensboro. Lionheart Academy of the Triad was born in 2012 and is in
its 4th academic year as of 2018-2019. Chris’s son Curran will be in the school’s first graduating class in
2020. Much of Chris’s service has been focused around youth. He served on the Guilford County Juvenile
Crime Commission Counsel for many years and has also been a steady volunteer as a judge for the Guilford
County Teen Court program. He continues to serve with a local not for profit that has donated more than
$140,000 to the athletic programs of local schools over the last 12 years.
Chris and Stephanie’s children are all very active and keep the family busy most days. In his spare time,
Chris enjoys politics, trail running, and restoring old arcade cabinets and pinball machines.

14Rotary International President
Holger Knaack
President 2020-21
Rotary Club of Herzogtum Lauenburg-Mölln
Germany
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to
create lasting change
— across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
This vision statement implies the importance of:
Increasing our impact through leadership and service, by eradicating polio or providing service in our
communities and internationally, expanding our reach, through membership diversification, new clubs,
Rotaractors and Interactors enhancing participant engagement, by offering leadership development and skills
training to our members and increasing our ability to adapt, to accommodate more diverse membership.
So, RIPE Holger Knaack developed the following goals:
Rotary International – Goals for 2020-2021
1. The district will be actively at work creating new, innovative club models and will need your support.
In addition, you can also help us expand our reach by creating a satellite club and by forming a
community-based Rotaract club.
2. Every club should host at least one strategic meeting each year at which you ask: What should our club
be like in five years and what steps should we take to help achieve that vision? What value do we bring
our members? Select someone to lead that effort.
3. Select new members carefully. Make sure that they are a good fit with your club and that your club
meets their expectations. Engage them and take care of them. There is no wrong age to become a
Rotarian.
4. Continue your club's efforts to end polio by donating to End Polio Now and by hosting a World Polio
Day event in October. We must fulfill the promise that we made to the children of this world.
15Leading Opportunities to Serve

4. 100% Club Participation-District Achievement Awards
5. Continue to support 10 Million Meals
6. Establish a District Polio Plus Society
