Purpose

The Multi-District PETS Alliance is a membership consortium of the leadership of the multi-district presidents-elect training seminars. Founded in 1992, the primary objective of the Alliance is sharing best practices for training event planning and implementation. Through the sharing of our successes and failures, each Multi-District PETS event has the opportunity to improve the quality of training for Presidents-elect — Rotary's future leaders. Membership is $160 per MDP per year to support dissemination of information and the overhead expenses of the annual meeting. The annual dues provides for the participation of up to three members from each event. Should your event need to bring additional leaders to the meeting, Please contact Dean Ryerson for information about stand-by status and cost.

Our twenty-fifth annual meeting will be at RI Offices in Evanston on July 20-22, 2023. Come to Evanston and participate in the relationships that have been developed with RI Staff and among peer event leaders to bolster our commitment to continuing the original mission that brought us together — the best club & district officer training we can present.  Pictured at the right are most of the folks present for our 2022 event; gathered at the main entrance to One Rotary Center.  By clicking on the image, a new page will launch displaying the high-resolution version.  Thanks to Wade Nomura for the shot.
