Nyron Mclean

Club: Riverside Sunrise

Nyron McLean was introduced to Rotary when he was asked to speak to the Rotary Club of Covina about leading medical, dental and surgical teams to Haiti, after the massive earthquake of January 2010. It was because someone at this meeting asked him to join Rotary, and, subsequently, introduced him to a Rotary club in his hometown of Riverside, California, that Nyron became a Rotarian.

Nyron is the Chief Financial Officer and co-founder, along with his wife Shelia, of Plan-It Life, Inc. in Riverside, California. Plan-It Life is a non-profit organization which has, for over twenty-plus years,  provided safety, security, structure, care and specialty mental health therapeutic services to at-risk teenagers in four locations in Southern California.

Nyron was the founder of H3Missions, Inc., a non-profit organization that has led more than thirty teams of medical, dental and surgical professionals to Haiti for eight years, after the earthquake. It was because of his experience in Haiti that he was able to obtain a District Grant and a Rotary International Global Grant, which financed two cervical cancer screening teams to different parts of Haiti, with medical professionals from renowned universities and medical centers across the country, screening over 900 women in rural communities, training Haitian medical professionals and providing them with the latest technology.

Nyron is a proud son of Massachusetts. He is a graduate of Boston University School of Management with a degree in Finance, and a New England Patriots fan. He loves traveling, reading, sports, the outdoors, his country and Rotary. Nyron has been a proud member of the Rotary Club of Riverside Sunrise, and looks forward to leading District 5330 warriors in changing our world for the better.

Nyron, and his wife Shelia, have two daughters. Erin, is a Psychotherapist in Washington, DC and a Rotarian and his younger daughter, Erika, recently graduated from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, and is completing her residency in Tucson, Arizona.
