To all of our current presidents, presidents-elect and assistant governors,
 
It is such an honor for me to serve you next year as our 2025-26 District Governor. Presidents-elect, please let me know if this is your first time being your club’s president.
 
Club Presidents, if your club doesn’t have a president slated for next year, please consider becoming an Encore President, where the focus of your training will be on succession planning, website design, and membership growth among other areas. Succession planning and attracting more members are areas of focus for my fellow 2025-26 District leaders, and we are happy to offer this curriculum. 
 
Assistant Governors, like the presidents of our clubs, your role is critical to the success of our district, and we are offering an AG track in both Pre-PETS and PETS. For our experienced AGs, your knowledge is important to pass along, so we hope to see you there as well. 
 
Please save the following dates and more information will be coming out as the dates get closer. 
 
Tuesday, Nov. 19: Pre-PETS Session 1 Zoom  6:30 – 8:00 P.M. 
 
Listening Sessions (choose one) – 6:30 PM 
 
Wednesday, Nov. 20: Giuseppe's Pizza, Warminster
Thursday, Nov. 21:    Brookside CC, Pottstown

At these sessions, we want to know your club’s strengths and areas of need to help us build our district’s plan.  Please RSVP to me and include which location you will be attending.
