Dear Rotary Family,
We are delighted to invite you to our District PETS and Assembly, which we have prepared with great excitement ahead of the new term, where we will both strengthen our friendships and refresh our Rotary knowledge.
The 2026-2027 District PETS and Assembly will take place between April 2-5, 2026, at Juju Premier Palace Hotel in Beldibi, Antalya. Throughout the three days of sessions, we will have a rich program filled with meetings that will be further enriched with your contributions and planning for the future. Together, we will discuss ways to make Rotary stronger in our district, produce together, and share together.
PETS and the Assembly, one of the biggest district-wide events, will not only be for Rotarians with assigned duties but will also be a unique opportunity for all our Rotarians and their families who wish to strengthen friendships and create joyful memories together.
Hosted by the Ankara Anıttepe Rotary Club, an Assembly full of unforgettable moments awaits you—with meetings and seminars, surprise programs, speakers, entertainment, and activities.
This year, to make your registration and payments easier, we have created an online application system under the "Asamble2026" section on our district website (https://rotary2430.org.tr/). We would also like to remind you that hotel capacity is limited, so we recommend completing your registrations early.
With the hope of coming together at Assembly 2026 to step into a stronger and more hopeful future together, we extend our love and respect to you all.

Dear Rotary Family,
Are you ready to open the doors to a new era together?
We invite you to a very special gathering where we will fully experience Rotary's unifying power, the warmth of our friendships, and the excitement of creating together. Our District 2430 PETS and Assembly, to be held from 2-5 April 2026 at the Juju Premier Palace Hotel in Antalya Beldibi and hosted by the Ankara Anıttepe Rotary Club, is an inspiring training and development event specially designed for the leaders of the coming term.
This event is not only a preparation process, but also a platform where the vision of the new term will take shape, teams will be strengthened, and Rotary leadership will gain even greater meaning. Rotary's long-standing principle, "He profits most who serves best," reminds us of the true value of service. Although these words do not directly belong to Paul Harris, they clearly reflect his vision and the spirit of Rotary. With this inspiration, we set out with knowledge, sharing, and common goals—to reach more people, more effectively.
Moreover, this year we will experience many "firsts" together. A program awaits us filled with brand new content, different session formats, and dynamics never before implemented in our District. This innovative approach will both broaden our vision and strengthen our collective power to create.
I believe that, under the guidance of our Governor Rtn. Orhan Uludağ and Zeynep, who will lead us in the 2026-2027 term, we will have a productive period focused on creation and development, supported by their Rotary experience. Under their leadership, we invite you to join us on this special journey to make a strong, determined, and visionary start to the 2026-2027 term.
Remember, this is not just training. It is a special fellowship where we will learn and grow together, sharing ideas, experiences, and inspiration. We believe that the steps we take together will bring joy and meaning to the term. We invite you, your spouses, and your children to join us on this journey.
With Rotarian love and respect,
Rtn. Elvida Aylin - Erdem Kesim

DISTRICT PETS & ASSEMBLY
In Rotary, district leadership needs to make a special effort each year to provide club leaders with the necessary knowledge and training for the roles they will undertake during their term, taking into account the activities carried out throughout the year.
The District PETS and Assembly is the most important leadership training event in every Rotary district worldwide. The workshops held at the Assembly provide you with new Rotary knowledge, fresh ideas, inspiration, and motivation.
At the District PETS and Assembly, the most experienced district leaders lead informative discussions about Rotary and service projects. These sessions offer all participants valuable new ideas to make their clubs more effective and creative. Normally, eight to ten delegates from each club (including the president, board members, committee chairs, as well as both experienced and new Rotarians) are invited to participate in the training sessions.
Generally, the success of your Rotary club is determined by its full representation and participation at the District Assembly. This event continues the education for incoming club presidents and does not repeat what was learned at PETS. It also provides an opportunity to work together with the rest of your club’s leadership team on important matters related to your term.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE ASSEMBLY AND WHY?
