Step 1: FAQFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Carolinas’ PETS?
First, PETS represents Presidents-Elect Training Seminar. Second, it is Carolinas’ because it serves all of the Rotary Clubs in North Carolina and those in the western half of South Carolina — more than 360 clubs. Including the other club and district officers coming together for this training and fellowship opportunity, there are almost 600 participants. A premier training event for Rotary leaders, Carolinas’ PETS provides information, inspiration, and fellowship. Structured to meet the needs of incoming Club Presidents and Presidents Nominee, incoming Governors Nominee and Assistant Governors, this one and one-half day training seminar is beyond comparison among Rotary training events. Using inspiring speakers and experienced discussion leaders, this twenty-seven-year-old event is designed to encourage participation. An intensive training seminar, Carolinas’ PETS is structured to enable the participants to extract maximum benefits from the materials presented as well as from each other. For selected topics, we utilize group sessions based on club size whenever possible. Typically, these are organized into smaller groups of approximately thirty-five participants. We feel that this size is conducive to candid discussion of the materials being presented. Also, there are opportunities for the individual districts to meet as groups. These are times when the district leadership is presenting district specific goals and objectives for the upcoming Rotary year. This setting is a great opportunity to enhance the relationships among the district and club leaders. The entire program is designed with a focus on learning, inspiration and fellowship.
Who should attend Carolinas’ PETS? Every incoming President-Elect is required by to attend a PETS in its entirety immediately prior to taking office. Presidents-Nominee are encouraged, but their attendance is optional. The curriculum for the President-Elect is different from that designed for the President Nominee. Attendance at PETS by a President Nominee, does NOT satisfy the attendance requirement when later a President-Elect.
