2022 Learning and Development Seminar Homepage
 
May 14th - Soldiers Club  9am-4:30pm May 21st - Leagues Club 9am-4:30pm
   
There will be two seminars, one in Goulburn (May 14th)  and one in Parkes (May 21st)  to cover the size of this District of ours. 
 
These Seminars are NOT just for the Board but for all Club members.  I encourage you all to try and attend one of them!  
 
The days are designed to not only increase your knowledge about Rotary and how to contribute and participate in your Club but also about fun and camaraderie.  If you do have a role, you will learn more about this role and how to undertake that position to the best of your ability.   The program will cover things like Membership, how to be an effective Treasurer or Secretary, teach you about our amazing Foundation – one of the best charities in the world.  It will open your eyes how this works so effectively on all levels – Club, nationally and internationally. The seminar will teach you about Rotary’s amazing youth programs: RYLA, RYPEN, Youth exchange etc. These programs have the opportunities to change lives, giving young people increased confidence and skills.
So book your accommodation and come and join the District Team and make your club and Rotary grow stronger!
