Sponsor
Dear Friend:
I’m pleased to invite you to partner with us as a sponsor for the 2027 Rotary Far West President-Elect Learning Seminar (PELS), taking place March 5–7, 2027, at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California.
Rotary PELS is where more than 600 incoming Rotary Club Presidents and district leaders from Northern California and Northern Nevada gather for a weekend of leadership development, collaboration, and inspiration. This training is a required and essential step in preparing Rotary leaders to serve their clubs and communities effectively.
Your sponsorship directly helps:
- Offset event production costs that cannot be met through volunteer effort alone.
- Support our shared goal of 100% club participation—so every incoming president can attend, regardless of circumstance.
In short, your contribution helps us maintain affordability, quality, and inclusivity for this vital Rotary leadership event.
Sponsors enjoy meaningful visibility throughout the event, recognition across print and digital materials, and the satisfaction of knowing their support helped make Rotary leadership training accessible to all.
I’ve enclosed a summary of 2027 sponsorship opportunities and benefits. Whether you represent a business, a Rotary district, or an individual club, there’s a level designed to match your capacity for impact.
Please consider joining this year’s sponsor family to help strengthen Rotary leadership across our region—and help ensure PELS continues to thrive for years to come. If you’d like to discuss sponsorship opportunities or have questions about how your organization can be highlighted, feel free to contact me directly at (415) 860-1122 or daniel@geraldi-law.com.
Thank you for your consideration and for supporting Rotary’s mission of “Service Above Self.”
Warm regards,
Dan Geraldi
