On behalf of our Florida PETS (President-Elect Training Seminar) Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Trainers, we congratulate you on being selected to serve as your club’s next Club President or Assistant Governor. Our objective is to do everything possible to help prepare you for an amazing year and experience in your new role.
In late August, 2022, we asked current Club Presidents to complete a very short survey (now that they had been in the role for two months), to ascertain what training was helpful and/or what they did not get, to help prepare them for their role as Club Presidents. The survey had over 200 respondents (51%) and the feedback provided many excellent points. We will work diligently to deliver, again, on the many positive experiences that were highlighted and also focus on those in-District or Florida PETS training opportunities that President-Elects indicated needed improvement or reinforce-ment.
The most critical training items PEs indicated they needed for their role were:
- DACdb
- Rotary Club Central
- Membership
- Rotary Brand Center
- Foundation
As a result of this feedback, we will be offering PEs zoom sessions with subject-matter experts in these areas in advance Florida PETS (March 3-5, 2023). We will also be recording these sessions and make them available to you for further distribution to other club officers. Please register for these zoom sessions by clicking each zoom hyper-link (all times are EDT). Once you register, you’ll receive the zoom invitation.
