District training committee
If your district appoints assistant district trainers, you may consider organizing a district training committee.
This committee, chaired by the district trainer with assistant district trainers as members, would coordinate all training for the district.
Each member of the committee would be responsible for a particular district training meeting, such as PETS or the district leadership seminar.
This committee approach allows the district trainer to delegate the specifics of each meeting while ensuring a consistent training message.

District Trainer’s Manual pages 7-20
Session 2
Key points
The District Trainer’s Manual, pages 8-20, contains the RI Board- or Trustees-recommended guidelines for each training meeting in the Rotary leadership development training cycle, including its time frame and topics.
The recommended guidelines were developed to apply to all Rotary clubs and districts around the world. They do not make any difference because of geography, culture or other factors that may be important to the clubs in your district.
You will work with the convener to develop an agenda that follows the Board and Trustees’ guidelines and also meets local needs.

13. Leadership Development Training Cycle
Session 2 (slide 2 of 5)
Because most Rotary club and district leadership changes annually, training is critical to ensure continuity.
The leadership development cycle for Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation is based on integrated district training meetings.
As the diagram below illustrates:
Key points
Each meeting builds on the previous meeting
to ensure that all club and district leaders share a common vision when the new Rotary year starts.
The district membership seminar (as seen near the arrow marked June) should be held following the district assembly.
Governors-elect are trained at regional meetings during GETS and as an international group at the International Assembly.
Governors-elect and the district trainers then train the district leadership team (assistant governors and district committee chairs and members) at the district team training seminar.
The district leadership team then helps train club leaders at PETS and the district assembly.
This cycle prepares all Rotary leaders from the RI President to Rotary club officers for the upcoming year.

What are the criteria for choosing training leaders?
How to find and recruit potential training leaders ?
Criteria for Choosing Training Leaders
Seek Rotarians with a background in training or education as well as the
requisite Rotary knowledge and experience to convey essential information to
participants. Consider the following criteria:
• Training expertise
The ability to skillfully present information and facilitate discussion is very important.
• Knowledge and familiarity with issues
Rotarians with extensive knowledge about a specific topic may be preferable for sessions that focus on information-heavy topics.
Professional knowledge might be an important consideration.
However, experienced or knowledgeable Rotarians who are selected as training leaders should be reminded to remain impartial and avoid acting as the sole authority on an issue, which may intimidate participants and inhibit participation.
• Rotary leadership experience
Rotary leadership experience is another consideration when selecting training leaders. Consideration should not be limited to past district governors but might also include immediate past club or district officers. For example, a successful immediate past club president might be particularly effective in training incoming club presidents.
How to find and recruit potential Training Leaders ?
• Past district trainers and training leaders
• Immediate past club and district officers
• Current district committee chairs
• Past RI training leaders
• Past RI membership coordinators, and regional Rotary Foundation
coordinators
Consult the Official Directory for the names of these Rotarians, who may
also have training experience.
