President-Elect
Training Seminar

The
Presidents Elect Training Seminar is a training and informational
program for the president-elect, secretary and treasurer, planned
and organized by the PETS Committee and the District Governors Elect
in cooperation with the District Governors. Its main purpose is to
help implement the Rotary International theme for the ensuing year
and to motivate the incoming club officers in leadership roles in
club, district and Rotary International activities. The 2007 Rotary
International Manual of Procedure states that in order to be
president of a Rotary Club, the president elect must attend a
President Elect Training Seminar. Rotary International Districts
5490, 5500 and 5510 sponsor this seminar for their districts.
