Our district is a member of Rotary Zone 25B and 29 (a multi-state/district organization) which will hold leadership training at its annual meeting on October 1-4, 2025 in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The Zone organization has offered to each district the opportunity to bring “emerging leaders” to the Institute for training on these same dates. We are interested in potential Rotary leaders who are committed to Rotary, passionate about taking action, and eager to connect with others who feel the same way. All expenses associated with attending the Institute will be paid by Rotary District 5970. This is a wonderful experience for any person who enjoys Rotary and desires to assume a future leadership role in Rotary at the club or district level.
