Dear Presidents-Elect,
In Rotary, every new year is not merely the start of a new calendar; it is the beginning of new goals, new friendships and new impact that we will create in our communities.
We are already looking forward to meeting you, our esteemed presidents who will lead our clubs in 2027-2028, at the President-Elect Training Seminar (PETS) and District Assembly, one of the first and most important gatherings of the journey we will set out on together.
Our President-Elect Training Seminar and District Assembly
will be held on 26-28 March 2027 at the Miracle Resort Hotel / Antalya.
We do not regard this gathering as a training meeting; we see it as an opportunity to share our knowledge with one another and to develop and strengthen our friendships.
Our aim, as we prepare for the new year, is to get to know one another better, to share our experiences, to review our clubs' goals together and to shape the common road map of District 2430 for the year ahead.
In 2027-2028 our priority will be strong clubs, strong membership and sustainable projects.
We want to build clubs that retain their members and attract new ones, that form stronger ties with our Rotaractors, that open up more space for young people, that embrace The Rotary Foundation and that respond to the real needs of the communities in which they live.
We believe that the greatest strength in achieving this lies in thinking together, producing together and learning from one another.
Throughout the President-Elect Training Seminar, alongside the training sessions, we will set aside particular time for the exchange of ideas, for our clubs to share their good practices and to develop common goals for the new year.
Our wish is that, when leaving this gathering, each president will have clarified not only their duties and responsibilities, but also what they want to achieve for their own club and how they will contribute to the shared future of District 2430.
Because we believe that a successful Rotary year will not be the work of a single Governor or of the District team alone, but the joint achievement of all of us, under the leadership of our club presidents.
We look forward to welcoming you to our President-Elect Training Seminar and District Assembly, to take the first steps of the new year together, to strengthen our friendship, to share our dreams and to begin writing the story of 2027-2028 together.
With our warmest regards,
M. Kemal Attila and Gülen

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?
IF YOU ARE A SECRETARY
IF YOU ARE A TREASURER
IF YOU ARE ON THE CLUB BOARD
IF YOU ARE A COMMITTEE CHAIR
IF YOU ARE A DISTRICT OFFICER
IF YOU ARE A ROTARY CLUB MEMBER
In addition, by participating in the District Assembly, you will not only expand your personal and professional network but also enhance your personal leadership skills.
