- You will learn about leadership strategies that will empower you to manage your club; The Rotary Foundation; and Rotary International’s Public Image and Branding campaign.
- Your interactive sessions will allow you to share your ideas with your fellow Presidents-elect.
- You can network to form Rotary and professional partnerships with your “classmates” through our sessions and Hospitality areas.
Your RI required sessions begin on Friday, February 27 and conclude on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
