Welcome
Welcome Message from your Far West PETS General Chair
Welcome to Far West PELS 2026!
In just a few short months, you will step into one of the most meaningful leadership roles in Rotary. This weekend is designed to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and vision. You are not here simply to learn tasks — you are here to shape culture, inspire action, and elevate what is possible for your club and your community.
Rotary’s Action Plan calls us to increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance participant engagement, and strengthen our ability to adapt. As President-Elect, you are the catalyst for that work. Through shared learning, thoughtful dialogue, and practical application, PELS equips you to translate big-picture strategy into meaningful local action. Leadership in Rotary is not about having all the answers — it is about asking bold questions, building strong teams, and moving forward with purpose.
You were chosen because your club believes in you. Lean into this experience. Connect deeply. Think boldly. Lead courageously. The year ahead holds tremendous opportunity — and you’ve got this.
