District Training Assembly

 
District Training Assembly is where club officers, chairs, and emerging leaders can learn more about what Rotary has to offer.  We do this by offering different training tracks — so you can pick and choose which topics you want to learn more about. Stick with one track or get a taste of more than one. If you are an incoming Club President, Club Secretary, or chair of Membership, RI Foundation, Youth Exchange, Public Relations, or Social Media; if you are interested in Grants Management or Strategic Planning for your club, District Training Assembly is for you.
