Goff said she was both surprised and honored to receive the prestigious recognition.
“Today I was shocked and honored to receive the Paul Harris Fellow Award recognition from Cabot Rotary and Rotary International,” Goff said. “This award is one of Rotary’s highest honors and is presented to individuals who demonstrate a commitment to the Rotary motto of ‘Service Above Self’ not just in Rotary but in the community.”
Beebe native, Goff is a graduate of Beebe High School and Arkansas State University. She currently serves as Business Development Officer for Centennial Bank, where she has become well known throughout central Arkansas for her community involvement, leadership and volunteer service.

Rotary’s Worldwide Mission
Goff also highlighted Rotary International’s decades-long commitment to eradicating polio worldwide.
She noted that while many people may not realize it, Rotary has been the leading private-sector partner in the global effort to eliminate the disease.
According to Rotary, there were an estimated 52,630 cases of polio worldwide in 1989. By 2025, that number had fallen to just 39 reported cases, representing one of the greatest public health success stories in modern history.
Rotary continues working alongside global health organizations to eliminate the disease through vaccination efforts around the world.
Goff encouraged anyone interested in learning more about Rotary and its mission of service to attend a meeting of a local Rotary Club.
The Cabot Rotary Club is part of Rotary District 6150, serving communities throughout central Arkansas while supporting humanitarian projects both locally and internationally.
The Paul Harris Fellow Award, named after Rotary founder Paul Harris, is among the organization’s highest honors and recognizes individuals whose lives reflect Rotary’s commitment to integrity, service and community leadership.
