Due to scheduling needs, we will not have a working board meeting. Instead our guest speaker will be Kristopher Dahir.
Kristopher Dahir is currently serving his 2nd year as the President of the Rotary Club of Sparks Centennial Sunrise. Kris is also serving his 2nd term as Sparks City Council member, and has been elected as the President of the Nevada League of Cities. He’ll address his work with the Nevada League of Cities and with the Nevada Veterans Memorial.
Together with representatives from cities throughout Nevada, the Nevada League of Cities advocates for local governments. Kris is passionate about the power of collaboration to address common issues for Nevada municipalities such as homelessness, crime, and public health.
After the loss of Sparks Mayor Ron Smith to cancer in 2020, Mr. Dahir also stepped up to serve as Board Chair for the Nevada Veterans Memorial. This ambitious project was championed by Mayor Smith with the goal of building a new memorial plaza at the Sparks Marina to honor the fallen service men and women from all over the state of Nevada. Kris is a strong advocate for veterans and is currently serving as chaplain for the Northern Nevada Veterans Home. He and his wife Melissa have two grown sons, Adam and Noah.
