Rotary Club of Flagler Beach

District Governor Mickey Ulmer . . . began his career as an “old school” retailer. For 25 years, he developed his skills in advertising, promotions and strategic planning. While helping lead an advertising agency, he expanded his focus to hospitality and customer service which led him to 25 more years with a large regional barbecue restaurant chain, first as VP of Marketing and then as a franchisee serving and satisfying customers every day.

Among his professional and civic honors, Mickey is most proud of being awarded the Silver Medal For Lifetime Achievement from the American Advertising Federation, twice being named Business Of The Year by the Amelia Island Chamber of Commerce, and being honored as a Professor Honorarius by the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications for years of service to the college and its students. As a restaurateur, Mickey fine-tuned his community service skills supporting the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Navy League and more. Seeing a serious need in the community, he helped organize a Cold Night Shelter and donated food to the relief effort; and for 15 years, the Ulmers opened their restaurant each Thanksgiving Day to provide over 200 people in need a hot holiday meal and a bit of encouragement. For a couple summers, he even convinced Santa Claus to vacation in North Florida and help Toy For Tots raise money and toy donations for needy children.

As a member and president of the Rotary Club of Amelia Island Sunrise, he found new avenues for his passion for service and became a Paul Harris Society member. Moving on to District responsibilities, Mickey helped start two new Rotary clubs, served as an Assistant Governor, was a member of the Fund & Procedures Committee and the RLI Director for District 6970.

Native Floridians, University of Florida Graduates and life-long Gators, Mickey and his wife, Gale, moved to Palm Coast at the end of 2020 where he is currently a member of the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach. With his expanded District responsibilities, Mickey is committed to service being his focus for his next 25 years!
