Presidents-elect's are encouraged to read the Rotary International (RI) "Club President's Manual" before training. The Manual and other valuable materials are available from the RI Download resources page. It is highly recommended that club presidents-elect review these documents prior to PETS.

Another great RI web page is the Download Library where you can obtain additional training materials.



Service Above Self


RI club support begins at the Membership page which provides access to numerous fundamental documents for Rotary operations and policies at both the district and club levels.


Rotary International has developed an e-Learning Center for independent study, particularly for new members and club officers, using PowerPoint presentations available for download.
