The purpose of the Presidents-Nominee Training Seminar is to develop club presidents who have the necessary skills, knowledge, and motivation to lead an effective club.
Presidents-Nominees are encouraged to read the Club President's Manual and other materials before training so that they will arrive at PETS prepared to discuss their duties and goals for the coming year. Discussion questions from PETS have been provided so that presidents-elect will be able to reflect on their responses before training. The Rotary International website has several useful documents for download. It is highly recommended that club President-Nominees review all documents prior to PETS.

At PETS we represent Rotary and should project a professional image. Meeting rooms are often cool, so consider layers to keep comfortable.
Daily sessions are "Rotary Casual."
Friday dinner meetings are a step up to "Business attire" and more "dressy."
