Club Leadership Training
What is Club Leadership Training and who should attend these sessions?
If you are an incoming board member, prospective leader, new member or long-standing member – this training is for you. This year, the sessions are more targeted at board roles. However, even if you aren’t taking on a specific role, there is a lot of rich information in these sessions that will help you stay informed about your Rotary world.
How does it work?
All of our content will be online this year. Some sessions will be Zoom meetings (which will be recorded for those who can’t make it) and other sessions will be pre-recorded and posted here. All sessions will run approximately an hour, including time for questions. For the Zoom meetings, please register for each of the individual sessions and you will be sent a confirmation with the meeting link. If you need help with Zoom, please use the resources found here.
By early June 2020, the recordings for all the sessions will be available on this page and you will be able to view them throughout the Rotary year.
If you are looking for more learning resources after these sessions check out the Rotary International Learning and Reference site and Rotary Learning Centre.
