TESTIMONIALS 

This class provided me with a most inspirational overview of how to ‘organize’ my life, business, and Rotary Club.  Perhaps the best eight hours I have spent in my career.

David H. Freeman
Rotary Club President

This has been the best Rotary-based course I have ever attended.

Gene Windham
DGN

Time well spent.  Every President Elect should take this course as soon as they are identified.

Mike Freeman
Assistant District Trainer

I appreciate the information offered in this course.  We can only do the work of Rotary if we understand others we work with and understand our goals.  The speakers were great and the material built up to a great finish.

Gaye Cantrell
Assistant Governor

For only a day-long program, I feel my leadership skills have improved tremendously.Sheryl Farnbrough
Assistant Governor

I felt every session was well worth my time.  I saw my shortcomings and how to overcome them.  I found out how to become a better communications leader and planner.

Bill Strickland
Perm. Fund & Major Gifts Chair

Probably one of the best one-day seminars, very hands on and professionally useful to take back for Rotary, and personally.

Lona Pope
