Peggy Mader, Bio
District Governor, District 7470
2017 – 2018
Peggy Mader has been a member of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Rotary since 1988, joining while
she was a banker. Peggy admits she probably joined for the wrong reasons but she quickly went
from Member of a Rotary Club to a true Rotarian. Since the first Peggy has been involved
including serving in all offices in her home club, Governor’s Rep, District Secretary twice,
Conference Chair twice, and Assistant Governor. She has also served on or chaired several
committees including running the District Golf Outing several times, and hosted a long term
exchange from France. Her husband Maurie, who she met a Rotary, served as Governor of
District 7470 in 2010-11, so Peggy was very busy in a support role for him. A graduate of the
Rotary Leadership Institute Peggy now facilitates several times per year. She has also served as
a facilitator at PETS for years.
Professionally Peggy has been a banker, worked with Maurie in his Advertising Specialties
business and most recently as the Planning Board Secretary for Parsippany. All of these
positions included management, working with the public and setting up meetings and
communicating with board members.
In Parsippany, Peggy has served on the Knoll Country Club Advisory Committee and is currently
on the Board of Directors of the Parsippany Child Day Care Center where two thirds of the
children are there on stipends from various agencies.
Peggy and Maurie have enjoyed the opportunities of making-up at meetings when they
traveled. She was the first female Rotarian to make up at the new Budapest Rotary in 1990, and
they have made up frequently in Bermuda where she is lucky enough to have family.
They have been married for 24 years and Maurie has three children spread out across the
country, in Boston, Jackson Hole and California, and four grandchildren. One highlight was
taking their exchange student to both Jackson Hole and Bermuda for visits.
At the International Institute for Maurie’s year Peggy was able to really appreciate the
Internationality of Rotary and is over joyed at being able to continue her Rotary career.
