Schedule Time for the Learning Center

All Club Presidents are required to complete Club President Basics in The Learning Center at www.rotary.org. Complete this online learning at your own pace, but consider setting aside time on your schedule each week to complete a module. Keep this dedicated learning time on your calendar to take additional courses that will serve you well, to put your goals in Rotary Club Central, to review the Pre-PELS resources from this year's sessions, or to map out your term.
Take full advantage of the remaining time before you take office on July 1!
