Mia Harenski

Advisor

Mia Harenski is a CPA who works with small to medium sized businesses and nonprofits for their audit, tax and accounting needs. She is a third generation Rotarian, having been introduced to Rotary by her grandfather. Mia joined the San Diego Rotary Club in 2012 at 8 months pregnant – probably a first for her club!

Since then she has served on several committees, hosted two Rotary Youth Exchange students and served on the board.  Her favorite part of being a Rotarian is the interconnectedness that comes from being in an organization that is both locally and internationally focused and has over 1 million members throughout the world. She is proud to be a part of a group of people who band together to get so much done.  Mia is married to Drew, has two sons, Jack and Nolan, and an old stubborn beagle named Satchel Moe.
