Time to refresh on upcoming deadlines & events

District Training Assembly (DTA):

You’ve heard the term DTA tossed around.  What is it?  The District Training Assembly is ODU Workforce Development Centerthe annual training event for incoming club leaders, April 23rd this year. Most Rotary clubs have a leadership board of at least 10 to 12 members.  At the DTA there is specialized training for Secretaries & Treasurers and other positions,  but there is also an overview of the District Governor’s goals for the year, introduction of key district leaders, and a fantastic breakout for all things relating to The Rotary Foundation, and  many other attractions.  All incoming club leaders should come to the DTA, learn a whole lot, and have a whole lot of fellowship with Rotarians from across District 7600, and have a day off from yard work.

Where and how to register … well … dacdb.com, of course. Scroll down to April 23rd on the calendar, click on Register Now, input credit card info, and you are ‘In Like Flynn’.  There is more detailed information on the Calendar about the event.

Grant Management Seminar (GMS):

On May 7 District 7600 Rotarians have one more chance to get their clubs qualified to participate in a global grant.  You can attend in person in Hampton or by webinar.  Register as above on the dacdb.com  calendar.  However, this is a free event.  The Rotary Foundation requires that the Grant Management Seminars be interactive. Visit dacdb.com to get more details on the event.  Click  GMS 2016 (1) for a flyer.

Actually, there were home fries served with the full English breakfast at the Grant Management Seminar (GMS) on Saturday, March 19 at the Colonial Heritage Clubhouse in Williamsburg. OK, it wasn’t a full English … there were no beans, but everything expected in a Southern breakfast was to be had.  The food was great, the room was full, and the presenters were well prepared.

Wayne Boggs and Grant CosingThe GMS met all of the requirements for a club in attendance to be eligible to apply for or participate in a global grant.  In our district only global grants require attendance at a GMS, but the application process, grant criteria, and reporting requirements are very similar for a district grant. The information imparted at the GMS  prepared the clubs in attendance for the application, execution, reporting, and close out of either type of grant.

If your club was not represented, there will be two more opportunities to learn what you need to learn to pursue a district or global grant.  On April 2 and on May 7  there will be additional GMS presentations.  Both will be at the Old Dominion University Peninsula Center, Suite 2200,  600 Butler Farm Road in Hampton 22666 and both will also be available as webinars.  The April GMS will focus on district grants.  The program will include demonstrating the district grant module and describing how to develop a district grant.  The May GMS will focus on global grants. Both are conveniently scheduled prior to the district grant application deadline of May 16.

The registrations for these seminars will be available very, very soon so watch dacdb.com and have your club representatives register soonest for one or both of these events.   More information may be obtained from DRFCC Jim Probsdorfer or from District Grants Chair SuAnne Bryant.
