Welcome to CPETS24 from Chair Stephen Beer, Past District Governor 7600
Welcome to the Chesapeake Presidents Elect Training Seminar… or CPETs for short. (Download our event flyer here.) Congratulations to the incoming Club Presidents on your election to lead your clubs for Rotary Year 2024/25. CPETS helps prepare future club presidents and district leaders for their upcoming role. Our dedicated event committee and facilitators will help you to make the best of this learning event. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and best practices during interactive sessions. You will have the opportunity to learn proven strategies to make your club stronger, attract new members, and enhance your members’ Rotary experience.
CPETS creates an opportunity to meet other Rotary leaders who can be a resource for you. Our four “irresistible “District Governors Elect are ready to work with you to make the most of your year as Club President. We also have three dynamic keynote speakers: Barry Rassin, Past Rotary International President and current Rotary International Foundation Trustees Chair; Patrick Eakes, Rotary International Director-Elect; and Tiffany Ervin, Past District Governor, Rotary District 7670 in western North Carolina.
We will have numerous Rotary vendors and exhibitors that will have merchandise, displays, and information to enhance your club’s experience and opportunities to serve your community.
When you participate in Chesapeake PETS, we want you to have a good time.
To help you prepare for your CPETS experience, I encourage you to thoroughly browse this website and to talk with your club and district leaders about what to expect. Learn more about our program agenda here. And our Quick Reference Guide is available here (pdf download). CPETS is fast-paced. To get the most out of CPETS, think about where you and your Rotary club are today. Write down three areas you hope to find ideas to improve your club, whether it’s finding a new service project, making your meetings more exciting or inviting, or how to grow your club’s membership. Also, identify up to three things your club does well that are worth sharing with your peers.
The CPETS team looks forward to meeting you in Chantilly!
