On Saturday, about a dozen Thomasville club members attended District Training in Columbus. After a welcome from Columbus mayor Skip Henderson and updates from the district governor and the district governor elect, the team attended workshops about a variety of topics important for planning the 2025-2026 Rotary year.
Workshop topics included:
Rotary's Action Plan
Public Image Essentials
How to Be An Effective Facilitator
Serving Youth and Young Adults
Membership and Smart Growth
Foundation: Community Grants and Global Grants, International Service and PolioPlus
Managing Volunteers
AI and Social Media Mastery
Strategic Planning and Succession Planning
The half-day programming was concise, but set the team up well for success in 2025-26 and beyond.
