Potential <strong>Rotary</strong> Leaders Seminar Update<br />
In <strong>Networker</strong> 14 we advised you of the upcoming PRLS Seminar in October. Unfortunately the two facilitators from<br />
New Zealand who are to run both the Basic PRLS and Master PRLS have not been able to get suitable flights<br />
inbound and outbound to Australia for the weekend of 20-21 October. Therefore the seminar has been moved to the<br />
PRLS training program to the weekend of 17-18 November. The venue and times remain unchanged.<br />
The new dates may also allow people who were not able to attend the seminar in October to now attend in November.<br />
The original registration form can still be used to register for the November seminar – see your Club President email<br />
the <strong>District</strong> Governor).<br />
The Master PRLS program for <strong>9800</strong> Rotarians is now full, however, if Rotarians from our <strong>District</strong> wish to be placed on<br />
a waiting list they may still be able to attend depending on the numbers from <strong>District</strong> 9810.<br />
Basic PRLS will be Saturday, 17 November and the Master program will be on the Sunday, 18 November.<br />
There are still places available for the Basic program, and Presidents-Elect are particularly encouraged to register as<br />
the timing is now ideal - it will follow on from Pre-Pets on 28 October and will give you the additional skills as you<br />
progress your year as President.<br />
The revised closing date for registrations will be 12 November.<br />
PRLS is a great program and all who attend will certainly benefit from the experience.<br />
Both <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>District</strong>s <strong>9800</strong> and 9810 have combined their resources to bring PRLS (Potential <strong>Rotary</strong> Leaders<br />
Seminar) to Melbourne for the first time. Both <strong>District</strong>s identified in their 2007-8 strategy plan for their <strong>District</strong>s that<br />
there was a need for additional leader training for Rotarians wishing to take on a leadership role in either their club or<br />
<strong>District</strong>. PRLS offers the opportunity to provide additional skills and training to take on a leadership role in <strong>Rotary</strong> but<br />
participants have found the information and experience provided during the seminar can also be used in their<br />
vocation.<br />
