0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds

Rotary Florida PETS is a partnership of eight Rotary Districts, covering the entire state of Florida and Grand Bahama Island. This elevating and informative seminar exposes Presidents-Elect to the latest trends and techniques in the operation of a Rotary Club. The PETS experience is also a wonderful opportunity for great fellowship and networking with approximately 650 Rotarians, from our entire area and beyond.

This website will assist in your preparation for PETS, and can also be used as a resource at any time. The best preparation for PETS includes attending your District PETS I and completing any assigned home study and exercises coming to you from the training team. If you have any questions, please refer these to your District Governor-Elect. He or she will be delighted to assist or refer you to an appropriate PETS committee member.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Rotary Florida PETS 2027!

President-Elect Training Seminar

The PETS Training Team has developed a diverse curriculum based on its considerable experience and on the feedback received from previous attendees.

Also during our meal sessions, we are treated to some of the very best speakers in the Rotary world.

Every year this unique PETS experience transforms those selected to lead their Clubs, giving them the knowledge and confidence to lead with innovation and inspiration. PETS is a participation sport, the more you put in, the more you get out, and the more your Club will benefit.

What Past Club Presidents say

About Participating in Florida PETS

“PETS helped me prepare to lead my club with strategies and ideas to grow our membership, thrive in our community, and create value for current members through service projects and volunteering events.”

“PETS is a wonderful and brilliant experience for a President-Elect. Despite having served as Club President in another club, the Florida PETS game me a chance to meet and get to know other Club Presidents from Florida and the Bahamas.”

“Attending PETS was an amazing experience. Not only did I learn updated knowledge about Rotary, but I also made lifelong connections with other Presidents-Elect from across the state of Florida and the Bahamas.”
