Club Presidents

THE ROTARY CLUB PRESIDENCY

The term of a Rotary Club president coincides with the Rotary year, beginning July 1 and lasting through June 30 of the following calendar year. They should be nominated a year or more before the beginning of their term (President-Nominees), and elected by club members by December of the year preceding their term (Presidents-Elect).

It is common for clubs to have regular plans of succession that move presidents-to-be through several club officer positions and essentially choose the presidential line several years in advance. Rotarians must attend a Rotary President-Elect Training Seminar (PETS), which are held regionally every winter, before being eligible to serve as president.

A president's responsibilities normally span at least two and a half years, beginning as President-Elect, and extending for an entire term beyond their presidency through their board position as Past President.

PAST PRESIDENTS

Past presidents play an important role in the club by providing guidance to presidents and other officers. They do so formally, as they continue to serve on the board as "Past President" during the presidential term immediately following their own.
