As a President-Elect am I required to attend PETS?

Yes, this is required training and is covered in the Rotary Manual of Procedure under Article 9 Section 5 (c), Page 242.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Is there any way that I can make up this training, if I can't make that date?

Contact your District Governor and he/she will be able to give you a date of another PETS meeting in a nearby state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Do I have to pay my own expenses for PETS?

Each district will be billed for PEs and will be passing it on to the clubs. Others attending may be covered by their clubs, depending upon that club's policy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

What can I expect to learn at PETS?

Professional speakers will lead sessions on a variety of topics, including club organization, leadership and team building, goal setting, refining volunteer management, club budgets, conducting a club meeting, managing time and expected time commitments for a club president and a general orientation to club administration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Is there anything I can do to better prepare for the PETS?

There are a number of Rotary International publications, written specifically for Club Presidents, that you could read. Check the list of materials that are available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

What materials will I be able to bring back to my club?

You will be given a President's Manual which covers everything that you will need to carry out the mission of being a Club President. You are expected to carry this manual to all of the sessions and be able to make notes in the appropriate places.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Will I be able to visit Rotary vendor booths at this meeting?

Yes, there will be licensed Rotary vendors with displays which will be there for the entire meeting.
