PETS: Presidents-Elect Training Seminar
Friday & Saturday, March 14-15, 2008
Tomah, WI
Advance Registration Required For All Attendees, Including Presidents Elect.
Join your fellow Presidents-Elect on Friday and Saturday, March 14-15, 2008 at the Cranberry Country Lodge in Tomah, WI for the Presidents-Elect Training Seminar, better known as PETS. PETS is required for all presidents-elect. Please make arrangements to attend the entire program.
The primary purpose of PETS is to prepare incoming club presidents for your year as president. In addition, PETS gives the district governor-elect and assistant governors the opportunity to meet and motivate you as an incoming president while beginning to build a working relationship.
Prior to this meeting you will receive a PETS binder, a Rotary Foundation commitment form and the Planning Guide for Effective Rotary Clubs from your assistant governor. Please bring all of these materials to PETS. Prior to PETS, complete the top portion of the Rotary Foundation commitment form (noting your club’s commitment for your presidential year). Please review the Planning Guide for Effective Rotary Clubs so any questions may be answered by your assistant governor while at PETS.
