Attention All President Elects!
PETS 2022 is right around the corner.
Whether you are a first time club president or serving as president for the second or even third time, you will not want to miss this year’s President Elect Training Seminar “PETS.”
It looks like we have a great line up this year and we are back in person!
Some of my best Rotary memories have been at the annual meeting of Florida PETS. Over 500 Rotary leaders from around the state will converge to learn from others, share ideas and be inspired by some of Rotary’s greatest. I look forward to seeing all of you from March 4th – 6th in Orlando.
Meet our new Public Image Chair, Amy Workowski from the Rotary Club of Daytona Beach!
