President Elect Duties The primary duties of the President-Elect is to prepare him/herself to assume the office of president the following year. Attendance at District and RI-sponsored leadership sessions, such as COLTS (Club Officer and Leaders Training Seminar) and PETS (President-Elect Training Seminar) are essential. It shall be the duty of the president-elect to serve as a member of the board of directors of the club and to perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the president or the board. The president shall appoint the president-elect or vice-president to oversee and coordinate the work of the classifications, membership, membership development, and Rotary information committees. The President-Elect also chairs Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary's Membership Extension committee, and is responsible for new member orientation (together with member sponsors), induction and mentorship. This is a key element of keeping our club healthy, for statistics indicate that, if a new member is not well integrated into the club, he or she will very likely drop out within two years. Preparation Before accepting office, club presidents-elect should be required by their respective clubs to pledge themselves to attend the district assembly. The recommended "Committee Plan for a Rotary Club" and the "Recommended Club Bylaws" shall provide for the club president-elect or vice-president-elect to be responsible for overseeing and coordinating the work of the classifications, membership, membership development and Rotary information committees of the club.Incoming club presidents-elect are urged to complete their appointments of club committee chairmen no later than 31 March. During the months as president elect, much emphasis must be laid in the preparation to effectively serve the club. During these preparation months, the following steps must be observed: Assess the club's membership situation Discuss service objectives Identify ways to improve support for The Rotary Foundation Developt future leaders by promoting attendance at important district and RI events The tasks/actions to be carried out soon after election include: Appointment of committee chairs Attend PET (President-Elect-Training) Seminar Encourage all club leaders to attend the annual District Assembly so as to acquire the skills and knowledge required for success in the coming year.
