Please join me in congratulating all Presidents-elect who attended the Midwest PETS 2025 event in Itasca, IL.

Congratulations and welcome to your journey as a Rotary Club President-Elect! This is an exciting opportunity to lead with purpose, inspire your members, and make a meaningful impact in your community and beyond.

Over the next several months, you will gain valuable insights, build connections with fellow leaders, and prepare to guide your club with confidence. Visit the webpage President-Elect Resources for everything you need to know about your president-elect journey including dates to remember and the digital version of the PETS binder. It’s important that you review the digital PETS binder.

This webpage serves as your central hub for the resources, training, and support you need—not only as a president-elect but throughout your year as club president.

As you step into this leadership role, we challenge you to consider: What will your legacy be? Leadership is more than managing meetings and projects—it’s about creating lasting impact. How will you inspire change, strengthen your club, and leave it better for the next generation of leaders? Embrace this experience with enthusiasm, and know that you are part of a global network of leaders committed to service and positive change.

We look forward to working with you and seeing all that you will accomplish!

Melissa, DG 2025-2026
