About PELS.

Great Lakes Rotary PELS strives to provide the best leadership preparation possible to benefit president-elects, president nominees and their Rotary clubs.

Great Lakes Rotary PELS

Great Lakes Rotary President-Elect Learning Seminar (GLRPELS) is one of the largest multi-district PELS in the United States. It is a premier leadership preparation event that leverages the expertise of seven Rotary Districts with clubs in Michigan Indiana, and Ontario.

Every year there are new District leaders, and new leadership in Rotary International. GLRPELS is a great opportunity to meet the leaders. This year’s keynote speakers will inform and invite us to consider concepts like becoming a change agent; leading your Rotary club to be more project-oriented; and collaboration and flexibility. In addition, attendees benefit from informal peer-to-peer discussions and interactions in a friendly, collegial atmosphere.

Clubs that send both their President Elect and President Nominee have more successful years. Both the PE and PN receive specific information that will help them in their new roles as they progress through the leadership succession process. We believe this provides a continuity of leadership year-after-year. Attendees leave GLRPELS feeling “fired up” and eager to begin the amazing year ahead serving as leaders of action in their clubs.
