Mark your calendars for the 2020 Presidents-Elect Training Seminar (PETS): Thursday, April 23, 2020 at Madden's Resort in Brainerd, MN prior to the District Conference!
For Presidents-Elect, PETS Orientation is part of the mandatory training before taking office on July 1, 2020. They will be provided with information that will help to set the stage and carry out their presidential year. Presidents Nominee, if they have been appointed by the club, are also welcome and encouraged to attend PETS.  Assistant Governors will attend to assist with training and meet with the elects from their clubs, it’s a great chance to get to know the extended team!
