| Club Name | | | Country | USA | District | 5510 | | Training Audience | Club level | | Type of training | Incoming Officer | | Best Practice | One of the most important fiduciary responsibilities of administration in a Rotary club is in the financial area. At the present time, there is no training material for Rotary International club Treasurers. Many Rotarians, including the Officers, Board of Directors and the Treasurer of a Rotary club are not familiar with the financial responsibilities of a Rotary club. | | Resources | | | Results | | | Contact | Greg E.

International Service
Rotary Foundation
Our District Foundation.
Through publicity, which started at the first Pre-PETS meeting in January, weekly e-mails, hard copy letters and support from the assistant governors, attendance was 210 people - double the previous year representing all but two district clubs. Over 50 Rotarians were involved in planning, leading the discussion groups, publicizing and executing the event.
| | Resources | Materials were prepared by the district, but the best materials were brought to the event by the various committees.

| Club Name | | | Country | USA | District | 7330 | | Training Audience | Club level | | Type of training | Leadership Development, Incoming Officer | | Best Practice | I drafted one page handout to outline the role and responsibilities for incoming club leaders. It outlines the protocol for everything from thanking the speaker at a weekly meeting to serving as vice president. This handout is distributed at the conclusion of a leadership training session. I kept it short so it will get read and the individual has a guide that he or she can refer to in the future.

| | Results | Modest improvement in performance.

| Club Name | | | Country | Canada | District | 5050 | | Training Audience | District level | | Type of training | Leadership Development, Incoming Officer | | Best Practice | At our District Assembly we hold a targeted session for the PNs with the DGN. We offerred that for the first time in 2006 and it was VERY well received by the parties.
In 2007, the PN class requested more training earlier in their PE/planning year than what we historically offerred. That historical Training was a 1-day Pre-PETs session just after International Assembly and then our 3-day Multi-District PETS.
We developed a series that we called KINDER-PETs (like kindergarten!). This consisted of a series of emails either from the DGE or the District Trainer that started in September, and were sent about every 2 or 3 weeks. The email contents were single topic introductions of ideas or specific topic training, and they were also archived on our District website.
| | Resources | email, District website.
Rotary information like the ABCs of Rotary were a great resource for the item topics. | | Results | We found we were able to hit the ground running at Pre-PETS and the pre-training ensured all the PEs had the same basic information as a starting point.

The training consisted of facilitated discussion, using RI manuals, and examining our district's goals and issues. We prepared the PETS training leaders to answer questions about our district to club-level Rotarians.
| | Resources | Presidents-elect Training Seminar Leaders' Guide; Club Officer's Kit - Club Committee Manual, Club President's Manual, Club Secretary's Manual; handouts; PowerPoint presentation used to facilitate discussion
| | Results | Because of the handouts and discussions at our PREPS, we had 60 presidents-elect out of 60 attend PETS. All the presidents-elect and club officers stated that the training was the best ever. Some of our assistant governors who were training leaders stated that if they would have had this training for their year as president, they would have been more prepared for their role.

| Club Name | | | Country | USA | District | 5110 | | Training Audience | District level | | Type of training | Leadership Development, Rotary Info, Membership development, Incoming Officer | | Best Practice | District Leadership Academy<br>The District Leadership Academy is a 9-month online training course. Only past club presidents are eligible to be nominated for participation and a maximum of 20 participants are selected each year. Course work, which focuses on the RI-Board recommended CLP, begins in September, with one course per month (September-November and January-March.)<br> In April, Academy participants select a mentor from among their instructors and an essay topic.<br>For each course, the participant takes an online exam and gets an immediate grade.
| | Resources | The District Leadership Academy has a Web site that serves as the academy classroom. All of the online resources are available for download in the student only secured area of the Web site. Resources are either ordered from the RI Catalog, or developed by various instructors. In addition, all assignments are posted on the Web site and all assignments must be submitted electronically to their instructors. Much of the coursework requires Internet access as there is extensive use of both the district and the Rotary International Web site. Due to the type of Web material being used and the amount of time spent researching on the Web, a high-speed Internet connection is absolutely necessary for participants. In addition, the Academy uses the services of <i>Hosted Test</i> to handle the individual course exams online.
| | Results | Planning for the District Leadership Academy began in 1997 because for several years, only one individual had submitted their name to become district governor. We wanted to change this. When approaching Rotarians that would make a good candidate for district governor, each of them would say they didn't know enough about Rotary to work at the district level. We began doing research and found an online program that we felt we could adapt to our needs. <br>The Leadership Academy was founded in 1998. By the end of 2006, our 8th year, we will have more than 125 participants graduate. The end result is a well-prepared individual that is ready to assume Rotary district leadership positions.<br>All of our current district leadership positions are filled by Academy graduates. In addition, for the past eight years, we have had at least three candidates per year for district governor. | | Contact | Harriett Schloer (Webmaster / Instructor) | | Web Site | http://www.district5110leadershipacademy.org | E-mail | web@rotary.org | | Phone | 541-388-7342 | Fax | 541-318-9994 |
