HEADS UP TO ALL ASSISTANT GOVERNORS

As you may have heard, we are taking a different approach to President-Elect Training (PETs) this year.  We have shorter sessions that are highly interactive - tailored to the different needs of the incoming Presidents.  (See message below that went out yesterday to the PEs).
 
We are starting the series with a Fireside Chat that will be Thursday, January 21 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.  We would love to have you at this session as we will be having a breakout with clubs and their AGs and also sharing so much about what you do... to help clubs.  So please register and come - if you can!
 
The training that takes place from February to May is focused on various important areas.  After each session, the president elects will have homework.  One of their pieces of homework will be to connect with you for some advice and to make sure they attend an area meeting.  We will give you many more details on this - but we wanted you to know that.  Some AGs have asked me - we do not expect you to attend the various PETs events happening between Feb to May as listed on this message.  You are welcome but it is not focused on you and your role.  
 
However, we have other TWO IMPORTANT DATES for you that relate to training everyone for the year ahead.  The first is Saturday, May 15 when we will be holding the District Training Assembly - we are going to be encouraging the Presidents-Elect to get their whole board/team to attend.  There will also be some specific training for AGs.  
 
The second is the final session we are holding in June for our Presidents-Elect.  It will again focus on their district team of support - with a big focus again on your relationship as AG with your clubs.  We also will have to speak at this event our RI Director - Valerie Wafer.  This session will take place on Tuesday, June 8th - from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.  
 
These are the key dates we want you to have in your calendar.  I hope this helps clarify! Questions welcome.
