PETS 2 (Yes, Rotary likes their acronyms...)

Last weekend was PETS 2 (President Elect Training Seminar), part 2 of 2 of Rotary's leadership training weekend. While I'm not going to be club president next year, it was an excellent experience that is highly recommended for incoming club presidents. Besides highlighting skills like conflict resolution, effective club meetings, membership and energizing your club, it's a great time meeting other president-elects from neighbouring clubs.

Keynote speakers included David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and Stephanie Urchick, Trustee of the Rotary Foundation. Both were speaking of the power of Rotary as an international organization to create change in the world. With 1.2 million members world-wide, Rotary International is the largest service club and networking organization in the world. For more information, visit www.rotary.org.
