The Sarasota Southside Rotary Club recently awarded Sarasota Military Academy executive director Christina Bowman with the Rotary Club Vocational Service Award. Bowman was recognized with the award as a special surprise during the Rotary Club’s monthly meeting held via a virtual video chat. The Vocational Service award, along with the club’s Service Above Self award, helps to recognize and celebrate Rotarians (Rotary Club members) and individuals demonstrating a commitment to helping others by volunteering time, talent and resources. The awards are not given on an annual basis; instead, they are presented when an individual meets the qualifications and is nominated by a club member.
