The President-elect Training Seminar  (PETS)

The bylaws of Rotary International require that the governor-nominee of each district, in cooperation with the current governor, in the early months of the year, schedule and conduct a training seminar for the incoming club presidents of the district.  This two- or three-day Presidents-elect Training Seminar, commonly referred to by its acronym, PETS, is a motivational and leadership training sessions designed to prepare the future club presidents for the office they will assume on 1 July.

Among the subjects covered are the implementation of the RI theme for the coming year as well as information about the new and continuing programs of RI.  Time is also devoted to a review of district operations, planning club and district programs, and organizing other activities for the year ahead.  How to prepare a budget, goal-setting, time management, and new ideas for club meetings are just some of the useful skills that club presidents-elect learn when they attend their district's PETS.  In some areas of the world, the PETS is conduced as a joint multi-district event
