Mr Davidson is a lawyer who used to practise in Dandenong and is now based in Glen Iris.
He has been with the Dandenong Rotary branch for three years and will serve 12 months as president.
Mr Davidson said among his goals were to start a local mental health forum to raise awareness of mental illness.
“We will have relevant health professionals attending,” he said.
