Spotlight on Sooner Rotarian Joan Johnson
Joan Johnson has been a Sooner Rotarian for one year. Last year she was on the International committee and this year she is on the Nexus committee. She loves the people in our club and their willingness to serve.
Two of Joan’s favorite quotes are: “Enthusiasm is the greatest asset in the world.” “Don’t play all the notes you could play. But wait, hesitate, play what’s not there.”
Joan is Global Logistics Director of Johnson Controls where she works with ocean contracts and international trade compliance. She loves her job for the challenges it presents.
Joan’s children are Lea, Austin, and Justin. She participates in hiking, running, traveling, and sailing. Three words that describe Joan are happy, energetic, and fun-loving. She loves to read, play guitar, and enjoy nature shows on television. Favorite singers are Jackson Browne, George Winston, Indigo Girls, and James Taylor. Her favorite sport is anything her grandson is playing, of course, and she also likes soccer and football.
Interesting places Joan visited are Belgium, South Africa, Germany, and Spain. Her very favorite place to visit is Moraine Lake in Banff National Park because of the beautiful scenery and turquoise blue water.
She belongs to the Institute of Supply Management and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.
A book that Joan particularly enjoyed was Asimov’s Guide to Science because it was assigned as a textbook at OU but it was written in laymen’s terms and was fascinating.
Someone Joan admires is Glenda Thomas because she is always so positive and because she did such an awesome job as District Governor!
