Welcome

Welcome 2026-2027 Presidents
President -Elect Learning Seminar
February 20-22, 2026,  LAX Marriott 
 
Aloha District 5000 President-Elects,
Mahalo for making the decision to join us for the next 10 months of training that will hopefully get you ready to take the leadership of your club next July 1stm 2026.  Our training will be a combination of Zoom meetings, online classes through the Rotary Learning Center and an exciting weekend in Los Angeles in February, where you’ll join 600 other President-elects from all over the western U.S.
 
To start the training, you’ll need a MY Rotary account.  If you don’t have one, go to www.rotary.org and sign up with a valid email address and a password.  You’ll need a My Rotary account to access the Rotary Learning Center.
 
Every month, we’ll have at least one Zoom meeting and a few Learning Center assignments. Ideally, you will take the Learning Center courses before we meet on Zoom so we can discuss the content. Every month there will be a new theme, so do your best stay on track.  Every Zoom meeting will have the same link.
NONE of these meetings or assignments are mandatory.  You can do all of it, some of it or none of it.  It comes down to what are you willing to do to get yourself to be prepared to lead your club?   Questions?    Benson Medina (808) 286-6559     Naomi Masuno (808) 492-0126  Doug Adams (571) 332-7248
