10. Planning for Your Year

11. Your Role as President

12. Your Job Concentrate on what’s most important!
You will find a brochure in your PETS package with helpful tips on Vibrant Clubs. A Vibrant Club will make your job easy. People want to be part of a group that has a positive impact in the community.
Have the most Vibrant Rotary Club possible

13. Resources You will received this package of information during PETS.
Reading these manuals will help you and your leadership to work towards ambitious, achievable goals and to ensure a consistent, up-to-date knowledge base.

14. Your Assistant Governor
Assists with implementing the Planning Guide for Effective Rotary Clubs
Reviews progress toward goals
Encourages the club to follow suggestions from the governor
Plans governor’s visit
Identifies future leaders
Your AG should visit your club AT LEAST four times during the year. When the AG visits, he/she should be invited to address the club on issues of interest to the members.
Your AG is a resource for you, particularly in helping with the goal setting process. You AG can also be helpful in assisting you to overcome challenges within your club.
How you run the club is up to you but the AG can be a support for you if required.
The visit of the DG is a highlight event during the year and your AG should liaise with you and the other club presidents in the area to ensure the visit is organized to give clubs an opportunity to showcase their successes and to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the club.
The experienced AG will be able to help identify leaders in your club who may be interested in working beyond the club level.

15. Assistant Governors
Your AG will be announced at PETS for many clubs they will be the same as this year for others they will be new. I hope that in most cases you will get to meet and spend some time at PETS with your AG.
