Sam Moseley reports that Thursday has been "Rotary Day" for him as long as he can remember. His father, Haywood Moseley, was a long-time dedicated member of Marshall Rotary Club. Sam graduated from Marshall High School, The University of Texas, and The University of Houston College of Law before returning to Marshall with his wife, Kay, also a Marshall native.
Sam served as Marshall’s Assistant City Attorney and opened his private law practice in 1970. His brother, Bailey, now Justice on the 6th District Texas Court of Appeals, became his partner in 1971. Sam was inducted into Marshall Rotary Club in 1972 and served as President in 1976-77.  He was chairman of the District Conference in 1980.
In 1984, Sam was selected to lead the Group Study Exchange team to Uruguay. For five weeks, the team of young men served as ambassadors and students throughout the country of Uruguay, and Sam was made a lifetime member of the Rotary Club of Montevideo, the oldest Rotary Club in the Southern Hemisphere.
After serving from 1984 to 1993 as an appointee in the presidential administrations of President Ronald Reagan and President George H. W. Bush, Sam returned to Marshall and resumed his membership in Marshall Rotary Club. He was the first person ever to serve as President of the club two times when he took office in 2000.
Active in many civic organizations, Sam has seen service on the Boards of East Texas Baptist University, Marshall Public Library, Marshall Memorial Hospital, Harrison County Historical Society, Marshall National Bank, Courthouse Preservation Council, Marshall Main Street, and Marshall Chamber of Commerce, among others. He was named our city’s Outstanding Citizen in 2006. Sam appreciates the many ways Rotary allows us to serve our fellow man and enjoys the many friendships formed through Marshall Rotary Club. He has found that Rotary offers "avenues of service" to those who seek it at any age, as he has proved in nearly 40 years as a Rotarian. He and Kay have two grown children, and two grandchildren, Hallie (age 11) and Ben (age 9) who bring them great joy. Kay and Sam are both Paul Harris Fellows.
