To avoid loving chiding from esteemed Franklin Rotarian and District Foundation Endowment Chair, Bill Billings … PETS is the acronym for Presidents-Elect Training Seminar.

Chesapeake PETS

Presidents-Elect from districts across the Chesapeake region gather this weekend in Chantilly for extensive training, idea sharing, and social mixing to help propel them into their Rotary year as President.  District 7600 Presidents-Elect will be participants.

These Presidents-Elect will return from PETS with the mandate to develop their club goals, including Rotary Foundation giving, and development of possible district or global grants.

Club Rotary Foundation Chairs will be on the front lines

These incoming president will be asking the assistance of their leadership teams in developing these goals and plans. Please provide your input as Club Rotary Foundation Chairs to help develop meaningful giving goals based on club giving history and a slight stretch to grow club Rotary Foundation involvement. Your expertise is also important to help guide the development of impactful district and global grants.  Don’t be shy.  This is the year to think big, sustainable projects.Consider recommending joining with other clubs to multiply impact and scale.

Grant Management Seminar

Attendance at a District Grant Management Seminar (GMS) is now a requirement for both district and global grants.  The first GMS is on March 25 at 9 am in Williamsburg at the Colonial Heritage Club.  Registration is now open on dacdb.com on the district calendar and full details can be found there.

dana-gms-webinarIn April (8th & 29th) there will be two live GMS Webinars.  Attendance can be in person or via computer.  Registrations for these webinars will be open shortly after PETS, again, on the dacdb.com district calendar.

To help prepare look at the grant documents for the  2017 -18 Grants.

A look at the next 90-days in the calendar …

It is such an exciting Rotary time of year, isn’t it?  Current club leaders are planning out the rest of their terms and incoming club leaders are on learning and planning curves as they plan for their 2017-18 year. Those arcs are not mutually exclusive.  Cooperation and joint planning will result in a smooth transition.  What’s ahead?

January 28: Rescheduled Presidential Retreat and PrePresidents-Elect Training Seminar or PrePETS for short (an homage to Bill Billings) in Richmond. This seminar is of particular importance to both Presidents and Presidents-Elect as there are joint sessions and separate session tailored to the unique needs of each office.  If you didn’t register for the original event, now is your chance to do so on the district and club database (dacdb.com).

February 10 & 11: District Team Training Seminar at Chanco on the James in Surry County. This is a ‘by invitation only’ training event for the 2017-18 district leadership team. Members of the District Foundation Committee Team will attend only on Saturday, February 11 unless notified differently.  Registration, however, is required on dacdb.com.

March 2-5: Presidents-Elect Training Seminar (Chesapeake PETS) in Chantilly, VA.  Required training for current Presidents-Elect who will be Presidents in the 2017-18 Rotary year.  Again, registration is on dacdb.com.

March 25:  Grant Management Seminar (GMS) at the Colonial Heritage Golf Club in wayne-boggs-and-grant-cosingWilliamsburg.  Any club wishing to apply for a district or a global grant must have one or more representatives attend one of the three scheduled GMS events.  This one is a hiney-in-the-chair-in-person seminar.  There is a great Full Southern Breakfast and ends around noon.  There will be additional GMS Webinars in April. One will focus on district grants and the other will focus on global grants.  You may want to do all three :), but no extraordinary breakfast with the webinars.  Registration will be available soon on dacdb.com for the March 25th GMS.

If you have questions about any of the above training events contact Carol Woodward.  If she doesn’t know the answer, she can get it for you.  Where can you find her contact info? Why, in dacdb.com, of course.
