Luis R. Carranza, District Governor Elect

Born in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Luis moved to San Diego, California, at age 7 and later became a U.S. Citizen. His early life was shaped by a passion for music, traveling extensively as a member of the San Diego Youth Symphony, and volunteering at Grossmont Hospital. He studied Economics at the University of California San Diego.
Luis embarked on a successful career in the mortgage industry, where he's excelled for over 20 years. However, he yearned for a deeper sense of purpose, a way to make a meaningful impact on the world. This led him to Rotary, where he joined the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club in 2004.
Rotary's core values of Service Above Self, Integrity, and Fellowship profoundly resonated with Luis. He embraced these principles, serving as President of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, where he focused on member engagement, community outreach, and supporting local businesses. He also chaired the club's prestigious Taste of Rancho Santa Fe fundraiser, raising over $500,000 for charitable causes.
As Assistant Governor for District 5340, Luis guided and supported clubs in Kearny Mesa, Southeast San Diego, Mission Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Del Mar, San Diego Downtown Evening & Encinitas, culminating in two clubs being recognized as "Best Club of the Year." He also chaired the Rotary Foundation District Seminar and the "Disco Inferno" event, fostering a deeper understanding of Rotary's global impact.
As he prepares to serve as District Governor in 2025-2026, Luis emphasizes a "back to basics" approach. He believes in strengthening the core of Rotary:
By returning to these fundamental principles, Luis aims to inspire Rotarians throughout the district to achieve even greater impact and create a lasting legacy of service.
