Both PE and PN

Clubs that have sent both the President Elect and the President Nominee have had more successful years. This is because of the cooperation and teamwork that comes from both members attending. The PN will then get more out of PETS next year as a PE.

If both the PE and PN from your club attend, please have each person submit a separate registration form. The PE cost is covered directly by a billing to the districts, but other participants should submit payment with their online registration form.

Partners

A special program for partners has been developed and will be presented at the same time as the PE and PN training sessions. These sessions have been planned to be both informative and fun. It is intended to provide that person who will be supporting the PE or PN next year with Rotary information and ideas. If the partner is already a Rotarian, they will be provided with an expanded view of Rotary and the role of the president. Partner participation can influence the success of the club president. By the way, partners are both male and female and this training is meant for all.

Vendors are a wealth of information about Rotary related products and services. What's new, what works and what doesn’t work. Whether or not you are a buyer, the information these vendors offer is a valuable resource for your club. So take advantage of the opportunity to say hi ...
