Notes from the District 6630 Leadership, Education, and Development (LEAD) Committee.
We are already a third of the way through the Rotary Year. Our ability to make a difference in the lives of others is both finite and substantial. One of those ways to make an impact is the continuous development of existing and future club leaders. How are you evolving in your leadership style? Who are you involving in your leadership journey? Who will be in line to take over when your formal position ends, and what have you done to help prepare them?
I strongly encourage you to visit the Learning Center on Rotary International’s website to find courses that can help you and that you can share with others (https://my.rotary.org/en/learning-reference). An additional bit of information can make the difference in recruiting one more member, running a successful club meeting, or making a lasting impact through service.
One opportunity where you can gather a myriad of insightful information is the Tri-District Membership Seminar on Saturday, October 26 in Kent. Click to Register to attend this awesome program.
Another place to learn valuable information is PETS 1 on Saturday, November 23 at the Akron Rotary Camp from 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM. Click to Register. We need each club to send their President-Elect or a representative from the club to acquire valuable information on leading your club for the 2020-2021 Rotary Club Year.
For those already in the President Elect position and looking to get a head start on your year, be sure to review the Lead Your Club President Manual (click here or copy and paste this link into your browser https://clubrunner.blob.core.windows.net/00000050069/en-us/files/sitepage/2019-2020-president-elect-district-reference-guide/lead-your-club-president-guide/Lead-Your-Club_President19-22.pdf). Before PETS 1, I would suggest reviewing Section 1 (Planning Your Year), Section 2 (Leading Rotarians), and Section 5 (Strengthening Your Membership).
