Great Lakes Rotary President-Elect Learning Seminar (PELS) is one of the largest multi-district PELS in the United States. It is a premier leadership preparation event that leverages the expertise of seven Rotary Districts with clubs in Michigan, Indiana, and Ontario.
This year’s keynote speakers will inform and reinforce our program and conversations, inviting us all to consider concepts such as “thinking out of the box,” becoming a change agent, leading your Rotary club to be more project-oriented, collaboration, and flexibility. In addition, attendees benefit from informal peer-to-peer discussions and interactions in a friendly, collegial atmosphere, especially at mealtimes.
Clubs that send both their President Elect and President Nominee have more successful years. Both the PE and PN receive specific information that will help them in their new roles as they progress through the leadership succession process. We believe this provides a continuity of leadership year after year. Attendees leave PELS feeling “fired up” and eager to begin the amazing year ahead serving as leaders of action in their clubs.
