District 7010 Leaders meet to plan for Rotary 2011-2012

For the last couple of days, a group of District 7010 Rotarians met in North Bay for District Team Training under the leadership of PDG Tom Bennett, the District Trainer. 







The first day was dedicated to the Assistant Governors who are now ready to start their pre-PETS meetings with President-Elects, Secretaries and in some areas for Treasurers. 

The second day concentrated on updating those present with the exciting new theme for 2011-2012 that encourages us all to "Reach Within to Embrace Humanity".  In my view this concept connects so well with our current theme that describes what Rotary does: "Building Communities; Bridging Continents". 


Last year I introduced a new organizational structure at the District level (based on the Leadership Plan) and for the last 8 months it has been tested.  A part of yesterday morning was spent discussing the roles & responsibilities of the various leadership positions and Committees.  It is recognized that further work is needed and we were each challenged to define our own areas of responsibility. 

While in North Bay we also had a Finance Committee meeting and an abreviated (catch-up) District Advisory Council meeting.   My sincere thanks goes out to all my fellow Rotarians who invested their efforts and ideas into what I believe is advancing Rotary in District 7010.  I came away feeling the Team members are strong, committed and prepared to explore newer ways of communicating and working together.
