Presidents Elect Learning 2021-22

As Presidents Elect prepare to lead their clubs in the coming Rotary year, they have the full support of District 5040 and all its 48 clubs, and of the nine other Districts in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Alaska. They have an opportunity to learn not only from the wealth of knowledge that Rotary can provide, but from each other as they learn together and share their experience from their lives and careers at home, at work and in Rotary.
