Rotary District 5440 elects it's District Governors three years in advance of their service year. This adds continuity to the District Leadership which in turn provides better support for our clubs.

Karen initially joined Rotary in 1990 as a member of the Fort Collins Rotary Club in Colorado. While in that club, she served as chair of several committees, including International Youth Exchange and Scholarships. She resigned after several years to commute daily to Denver for work.
She rejoined Rotary in 2014 as a member of the Fort Collins Foothills Club (CO) and has served in the roles of Board member, Club Secretary, Club President (2020-2021), as well as serving on the Fort Collins Peach Festival Committee.

She served as Assistant Governor for the Fort Collins clubs in District 5440 for a year before being nominated by her club and selected to serve as District Governor in 2025-2026. She is proud to be a Paul Harris Fellow and Sustaining Member.
Karen served as a senior executive in the credit union and health care industries with 45+ years’ experience in marketing and communications, people development, strategic planning, and operations. Today, she consults part-time with non-profits and organizations in communications, fundraising and issues management.
Karen currently serves on the boards for SummitStone Health Partners (the community behavioral health center for Larimer County, Colorado); the Mental Health Substance Use Alliance of Larimer County; and Western Colorado University’s Mountaineer Football Alumni Association. Karen holds a B.A. degree from Colorado State University.
Karen is married to Dick Morgan, a retired high school educator and coach in Fort Collins, Colorado. They have two adult children (no in-laws or “grands” yet). Dick and Karen are avid sports enthusiasts and enjoy traveling. And you’ll often find Karen swinging a golf club for fun.
District Governor Elect
Albon Shaw
Rotary Club of Casper 5 Trails, WY
Having joined Rotary in 2014, Albon has enjoyed serving in a variety of roles over the years. His habit of saying “Yes!” was quickly noticed, leading to his nomination to the board of directors soon after joining, and ultimately to serving as President of Casper Five Trails Rotary for 2018–19. That year, his club was honored with the Outstanding Club President of a Medium/Small Club award.
Albon has chaired and served on numerous club committees, including Public Relations and Membership. Internationally, he and his daughter, Elle, traveled to Nicaragua on a service trip with Rotarians from the Gillette Energy Rotary Club, providing school uniforms and supplies, and completing school repairs. He has attended the Rotary International Convention in Toronto, hosted three international exchange students, and supported several other international projects. He also had the honor of participating in the Emerging Leaders program at Zone Institute.
At the district level, Albon has served on the nominating committee for upcoming District Governors and as Assistant Governor for the Central Wyoming Rotary Clubs in Casper and Douglas.
Professionally, Albon has worked in real estate since 2009 and is an Associate Broker with Real Estate Leaders. He also manages Shaw Investments, a real estate investment and construction business that he co-owns with his wife and fellow Rotarian, Kammi Shaw, who hopes to one day resume leading the construction business after experiencing a massive brain bleed on June 2, 2024. Together, they have three adult children and four beloved fur babies they enjoy spending time with whenever they can.
