2025 President-Elect Learning Seminar (PELS)

 With your commitment to be a club leader, you have also become a District leader.  As a District Governor, I will do my best to support you so that you have a successful year.  To accomplish that I have some expectations for you.  I am asking that you will put the following dates in your calendar and plan to attend the meeting.  By giving you a long lead time I respectfully request your attendance and participation.  I do not hold meetings just to hold meetings.  I keep them on time to respect your time.  My goal is to make these meetings as valuable as possible for you and your clubs.  If you have questions or issues I welcome you to contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  I ask that you do the same for me.  I know everyone is busy but please respond to my phone calls, emails, texts or WhatsApp in a timely manner.  You won’t be receiving a lot of messages from me but the ones I do send out, I ask you to address them.
