Purpose Driven

The purpose of the presidents-elect training seminar (PETS) is to develop club presidents who have the necessary skills, knowledge, and motivation to lead an effective club. In addition to PETS, club presidents-elect receive additional training at the district assembly. The purpose of the district assembly is to develop Rotary club leaders who have the necessary skills, knowledge, and motivation to lead an effective club.

Presidents-elect are encouraged to read the Club President's Manual before training so that they will arrive at PETS prepared to discuss their duties and goals for the coming year. Discussion questions from PETS have been provided so that presidents-elect will be able to reflect on their responses before training.
