Training & Inspiring Rotary Leaders of Action!

For the past several years, the annual CPETS training is held at the Westfields Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Chantilly VA, near Dulles Airport.

Chesapeake PETS (Presidents-Elect Training Seminar) brings together more than 230 club Presidents-Elect — who will be presidents to lead their clubs during Rotary Year 2020/21 — from four districts surrounding the Chesapeake Bay:  Rotary Districts 7600, 7610, 7620, and 7630. This dynamic training event provides a unique experience of learning from Rotary leaders, sharing with peers, fellowship, and enhancing qualities of leadership

Our CPETS Planning Committee is busy planning and developing enriching educational sessions. For several years, we have employed a fun and easy to use C-PETS Smartphone  App — for an enhanced conference experience! Our smartphone app uses the popular Attendify platform, and is typically available in January each year, before that year’s seminar in March..

Over the course of the 2.5 days, our scheduled speakers will include leaders from Rotary International. In addition to interactive classroom and plenary sessions, PEs will have the opportunity to visit and shop at Russell Hampton, the leading Rotary merchandise store. Numerous Rotary and nonprofit cause exhibitors will be in place throughout the conference — including ShelterBox, disasteraid USA, Rotary Leadership Institute, and The Rotary Foundation.
