District Assembly kicks off 2016-17 Rotary year

The key to a seamless transition into the 2016-17 Rotary year is District Assembly. District Governor-Elect Mark Hegstrom (Edina Morningside) welcomed an overflow room of attendees on April 9. He used the training event to introduce his personal 2016-17 theme: Be GREAT, on Purpose.

The day’s programming provided training for current and prospective club board members, reinforced leadership skills to lead vibrant clubs, and guided clubs toward earning RI Presidential Citations during the 2016-17 year.

During his remarks, DG-E Mark said, “How you talk about Rotary and your club shapes the public's perception of who we are and what we do."

Club websites and social media are windows into each club. Use them effectively as recruitment and PR tools.
