Highlight to some up coming events at the District Level!

Join Rotary District 5950 leaders for a mid-year update and a learning event featuring Santa Claus (and his delegates)! Santa's busy season will be over by January 16, so the jolly old fellow (and his guest speakers) have agreed to join this zoom meeting and share Santa's successful leadership secrets with District 5950 Rotarians. This event provides a quirky, easy way to remember the foundations of great management. You will learn how to create a happier work or volunteer experience by following Santa's easy-to-follow management coaching principles that include choosing your reindeer wisely, sharing the milk and cookies and being good for goodness sake.
 
Don't miss it - or you may find a lump of coal in your stocking next year !
Registration required to receive the Zoom details.
 
*Session adapted from the book "The Leadership Secrets of Santa Claus"*
